        Verdict

        Herringswell went close at Newcastle before struggling in this higher grade while Black Hambleton has been thereabouts over 6f recently but recorded his only win so far over today’s trip. Mr Potter was placed at Newcastle on his penultimate start and Zorawar has slipped down the weights since arriving from France but a chance is taken on FOREIGN LEGION. The latter makes a quick reappearance having run his best race to date at Lingfield just four days ago and has more scope for improvement than most of these.
