Verdict

All Peter Bowen's runners currently merit close inspection and TAFFY THOMAS can continue his progressive year off a 4lb higher mark for his latest success and make it three wins from the last four runs. He's yet to score on good ground but seems to handle it well enough and gets the vote off what still appeals as a workable mark. Court In Session has taken really well to fences, jumping very fluently for a novice, but may just find the concession of 16lb to the selection beyond him at this stage of his development. C&D winner The Disengager is respected whilst the market should be the best guide to the chances of the returning Shadow Dancer.
