Verdict

Natajack made all to win over a mile here before last month’s poor effort while Highwayman finished in front of Crazy Tornado when scoring in soft ground here in June. Kenmare River finished closer at Beverley last time and Colour Contrast was placed at the track earlier n the year but Templemary Boy has been struggling in Ireland. MAMA SAID has yet to threaten but posted a better effort in novice company here last time and Iain Jardine’s filly gets a speculative vote to improve further now handicapping.
