Verdict
A winner at Newcastle last month, Concert Boy bounced back to form at Haydock after a poor run at York. Wilde And Dandy, Hat Toss and Red Treasure are all recent winners but it’s about time VECCHIO was getting his head in front. The Meades’ gelding slips further down the weights despite an encouraging reappearance at Goodwood where he didn’t really get the run of the race. Bishop's Crown makes his handicap debut but he’s not been finding much off the bridle.
