Verdict

SERGEANT WILSON stepped up on his reappearance run when second in a stronger contest at Newbury 6 weeks ago, no match for the winner but nicely clear of the remainder. He gets the nod to come out on top from the same mark. For Pleasure, on debut for Olly Murphy, and Western Soldier head up the dangers.

  1. SERGEANT WILSON (IRE)
  2. FOR PLEASURE (IRE)
  3. WESTERN SOLDIER (GER)
