Verdict

Buckshaw Village wasn’t beaten far when fourth over track and trip and One More Dream was narrowly beaten at Southwell last week. WISEACRE (NAP) was no match for the progressive Letmelivemylife when runner-up at Wolverhampton but the latter has subsequently landed a hat-trick and Archie Watson’s grey is taken to open his account in this company. Vape beat Epic Express by only neck over 6f here earlier and has done all his winning so far over the latter trip.
