Verdict

Salve Japan is going the right way judged on a third at Wolverhampton but INVISIBLE FRIEND has the stronger form. The latter placed behind Shaara, rated 91, at Haydock on her debut and the runner-up has further boosted the form by winning. The newcomer Bobo is related to a couple of winners and is already gelded.
