Verdict
Hurricane Rock is upped 5lb for breaking his duck with a win at Wolverhampton while State Residence scored at Redcar last month and finished in front of Fikhaar when subsequently placed at Newcastle. But FEVER FEW posted her best effort of the year so far when runner-up over 7f at Kempton and Chris Wall’s mare may have finally slipped far enough down the weights to return to winning ways. Tasaaboq can figure off his current mark and Harlequin Rose had been threatening to score before disappointing at Bath.
