Verdict

A 4-time winner as a 3-y-o. TROOPER BISDEE resumed progress on the back of 9 months off when successful at Nottingham 33 days ago (Valley of Flowers placed second) and a 5 lb rise in the weights shouldn't prove beyond him on that evidence. Yorkindness, who is 3-3 at this track, is steadily easing in the weights and is feared, ahead of aforementioned Valley of Flowers.
