Verdict
Yimou scored over track and trip a fortnight ago with Tropics well beaten while Glamorous Anna was beaten only a head here last month. Both can figure again though A Sure Welcome’s recent placed efforts at this venue came over 6f. Free Love won here last summer and can figure back on a winning mark but that’s also the case for GRANDFATHER TOM. Bob Cowell’s charge hinted a return to winning ways when third at Newmarket recently and gets the vote given last year’s winner Daschas remains 6lb higher.
