Verdict

Barking Mad finished in front of Alfies Watch when third over 7f at Chepstow while Some Picture finished fourth at Kempton last time ahead of Game Over and Robert Guiscard. The latter has subsequently gone close over today’s trip at Yarmouth and is preferred to Silver Cliffs but ETHICS APPROVAL may just edge affairs. The latter ran out of steam over 1m2f at Newmarket in a tougher handicap than this but today’s shorter trip and first-time headgear should bring improvement and Charlie Hills’ charge is taken to open his account.
