Verdict
Give Me A Moment found only Representing Bob, due to run earlier on the card, too good at Stratford and is preferred to Hexham third Follow Your Fire. But SALAMANCA SCHOOL (NAP) made a winning debut over fences with a victory at Plumpton and Warren Greatrex’ four-year-old can defy a penalty with plenty more to come. Schmidt disappointed on his debut for a new yard but better is expected here.
