LONDON'S IMAGE (3) is resuming from a lay-off of 12 weeks and having her first run for the Donna Riordan yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign in the LR R S Crawford Stakes at this track over 6f. Will be fit enough for this following a recent trial win. Best fresh figures put her right in this. ASPHALT (7) is back at the races for the first time since November 22. Scored over 7f at this track to launch the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt. ALMIGHTY CLASS (6) finished off last campaign with a 14th over 6f at this track on April 26 and has since switched stables. Tuned up for this with a placing in a recent Belmont Park trial. Goes well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from five starts. Bold showing expected. WIND AND THE LION (5) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths into seventh. Chris Parnham gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Well placed to bounce back.
