Verdict

There should be more to come from Tight Call who will appreciate this trip far more than the 2m he ran over at Wetherby last time. Vamanos would have finished 2nd last time were it not for a mistake at the last and he’s another expected to run well in this. HOGAN’S HEIGHT would have been giving all of these weight over fences and he looks to have a reasonable opportunity of getting back to winning ways here on the back of a wind op; he could try and make all. The run of Legalized will be interesting to monitor as this is her qualifying run for a mark and she’s shown some promise in this sphere so far.
  1. Hogan's Height
