Verdict
Langholm was a winner at Catterick in May when last running in a Class 6 handicap but this is JOSIEBOND’s time of year and Mark Walford’s mare is worth sticking with after getting back to winning ways at Catterick. Safran is on a long losing run and has changed stables but a case can be made for Far From A Ruby. Classy Al and On The River may be the pick of the remainder with Breckland engaged to run in the 4.33 Hamilton yesterday.
