High Velocity won at Southwell before running into trouble at Chelmsford having lost ground early in the race. KHABIB saves his best for the Tapeta and returned to winning ways at Southwell when scoring with a bit to spare. He’s taken to make another bold bid as previous course and distance winner Ramon Di Loria appeared to have no excuses for a poor effort back here last time. Our Absent Friends won a lower grade sprint over track and trip last month while Twilight Madness drops down in distance.
