Verdict

Happy was beaten in handicaps before winning a novices race at Beverley while Magna Moralia returned a 20/1 winner in soft going at Pontefract. Life On The Rocks is fitted with cheekpieces after scoring over 1m2f at Ayr while the likes of Heights Of Abraham, Strawman and Heart Of Soul can all be given a chance. But BOLLIN JOAN went close in a tougher Class 2 race at Ripon on her reappearance and looks to have strong claims with Brandon Wilkie’s 7lb allowance helping her cause.
