Verdict
CALIN’S LAD returned from a lay-off at Kempton last week to record his first win. He’s penalised 5lb for that success but beat Ubla and Viola Park with something to spare and will hopefully settle better in the stalls today having been withdrawn at the start here earlier in the week. Steal The Scene bids for a hat-trick of course wins under a 4lb penalty and has every chance having beaten subsequent winner The King's Steed last month while Rockesbury is back on a winning mark and placed over 7f at the track last time.
