Verdict
TORN AND FRAYED (NAP) beat the in-form Mr Jack by 10 lengths at Hereford before chasing home Flash Collonges in a handicap at Kelso a week later. He is rated 8lb higher than the latter’s stablemate Take Your Time, pulled up last time at Wincanton, so is fancied to pick up the winning thread again with little to fear from the rest of the opposition,
