Verdict
This is likely to turn into a slog and that will suit some more than others. Goodgirlteresa’s third at Ludlow should be taken with a pinch of salt but Leith Hill Legasi and Alanjou stay further than this and are at the right end of the handicap, though the former was behind Colmers Hill at Ffos Las when both were making a seasonal reappearance. Bermeo has already had a good season while Some Finish could figure if on a going day. Big Time Frank was just beaten at Lingfield 10 days ago but it’s about time WHAT LARKS (NAP) was getting his head in front. He has won on heavy ground in the past and came up against an in-form rival on his return to action at Warwick.
