Verdict
Dapper Man has been well placed to win four of his last five starts and easily won an apprentices’ race at Haydock a week ago. But his earlier defeat came at the hands of WAR WHISPER at Pontefract and the latter is taken to confirm superiority on better terms today. Paul Midgley’s sprinter had earlier finished in front of Royal Brave at Musselburgh and the latter has placed again since while Billy Dylan, Pea Shooter and Spirit Of Wedza have all been thereabouts recently with the former preferred in this grade.
