Verdict

An interesting finale with some relatively lightly raced types who are open to further improvement such as Hard To Know and Assured Physique. Both have qualified for a handicap mark after the minimum requirement of three outings and it would be no surprise if either were to take advantage of a potentially lenient rating. My Bold Boyo had Peter's Two Fun over four lengths behind when scoring over course and distance earlier in the month. The winner is now 5lb worse off but there was plenty to admire about the manner of victory as he quickened to challenge and then displayted good battling qualities to get on top close home and he is taken to confirm the form with Access Overseas a possible danger if fit following a four-month absence.
