Verdict

GOOD BOY BOBBY won this race from just 1 lb lower a year ago and returns with yard in tremendous order, so a bold repeat bid looks firmly on the cards. Enrilo (on the back of a breathing op) and Certainly Red contested a much better race than this at Sandown when last seen in the spring and head the opposition.

  1. GOOD BOY BOBBY (IRE)
  2. ENRILO (FR)
  3. CERTAINLY RED
