Verdict
Lismore had landed a double before struggling at Beverley but is not easily dismissed if getting her own way in front. ROBEAM has a hike in the weights to contend with after winning at Southwell but the rest were nowhere and Brian Ellison’s charge was beaten only a neck over track and trip before that. Sophar Sogood went close over 1m6f earlier and it was heavy going when well beaten over 2m at Goodwood while Londonia ran well when last seen over track and trip back in June. Willkommen has won over 1m4f here and gets a change of headgear attempting this longer trip for the first time.
