Verdict

The Height Of Fame has been raised 9lb for beating the re-opposing What's My Line over track and trip. Zinat posted a better effort when second at Southwell while Age Of Wisdom had been thereabouts over these hurdles before a below par effort at Plumpton. But INDEPENDENCE (NAP) has placed over hurdles between outings on the Flat and having finished third in a higher grade contest at Warwick in March, he gets the vote with a conditional’s allowance in his favour today.
