Verdict

Bond Artist came here last February after a three-month break and won a handicap over the trip but hasn't been seen since running poorly in June. The veteran BENANDONNER was in top form around this time a year ago and looked on the way back with a very good effort at Kempton last month so there could yet be more successes to add to his dozen so far. Warden Bond has won five races in his career, all on this track, including a poor race a couple of weeks ago for which he's been raised 4lb. Neil Mulholland has acquired Lions Charge from Ireland where he had 17 runs without winning, almost all of them over much longer trips. Look Here's Al didn't get the best of runs here last month and could be the pick of the remainder.
