Verdict

BERTIE WOOSTER posted his best effort so far when beaten less than a length at Taunton on his handicap bow and may be the one to side with in an open contest. Ingennio has been in the mix in lower grade races lately while Winds Of Fire went close at Hereford and is preferred to Drash On Ruby. High Game Royal makes his handicap debut and may improve while Runswick Bay can race off a lower mark back over the smaller obstacles.
