Verdict
BELEAGUERMENT will likely start a short-price for this having just missed out over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last time. That’s the best form on offer though both of the Hannon charges finished a bit closer last time with Elsaabiqaat preferred to London Rock. Walkman debuted at Ascot and this is easier while Grandstand, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner among others, makes most appeal of the newcomers.
