Verdict

LION TOWER was gelded last winter and has subsequently raised his game, winning 3 of his 6 starts this year. He proved 1¼ lengths too strong for Danzan over C&D on his penultimate start and is taken to repeat the dose, despite meeting that rival on 5 lb worse terms. Danzan's losing run continues to mount, but he put in another good shift at Ripon on Saturday and is next best ahead of Zumurud.
