Torcello
His mark continues to tumble and he's one to watch in the betting in reapplied cheekpieces with the slow ground in his favour; however, this 12yo has very much struggled on his four starts since last June.

From the connections
“If we had that shower we were forecast then they would have struggled to catch Torcello but it has just dried back a bit and it is a bit tacky. I thought he was going to hang on but I'm happy with the run. He didn't run well at Doncaster as it was horrible, tacky ground that day and he didn't like it at all. He always runs well here as he likes these straight tracks. Sharp tracks like Goodwood he can't get into a rhythm but around here he can - Shaun Lycett, trainer.”
“We've been all over the country trying to get this ground for Torcello and he's a good horse when he gets it - Shaun Lycett, trainer.”
“Torcello is a progressive horse and hopefully he will now get a penalty for the Old Rowley Cup - Andrew Balding, trainer.”
“Torcello is by an Irish Derby winner and is related to some two-milers so it was no surprise he needed every yard - Oisin Murphy, jockey.”
