In depth

Verdict

Ronni Layne posted a better effort when placed over track and trip last time though a couple of these are less exposed including Roof Garden. But the latter is having his first start of the year so a tentative vote goes to SPRING PRAISE, stepping up in distance having placed over a mile at Yarmouth on his latest start with Jim Crowley taking over the reins today. Wallflower may prove best of the remainder though that’s not saying much in a weak contest.
