Race preview
JUSTUS ticks plenty of boxes having won on testing ground over C&D before scoring again at Ripon back in April. The six-year-old has gone well fresh in the past and Micky Hammond will likely have him primed for action on his return. Surrey Force lurks at the bottom of the handicap with scope for improvement over this marathon trip having placed at Chester last time. Soft ground is a worry for Weddell Sea so Yorkindness may prove a bigger threat back at this lower level.
