    In depth

    Verdict

    Nearly half the field won their latest starts and Strawman bids for a four-timer after scoring at Ripon. Howzer Black also won at the latter track while Prince Of Harts returned to winning ways at Windsor and Fairmac beat Miramichi when successful over track and trip. Silver Gunn and Yorkshire Lady won on the same card at Sandown last month while Cadeau D'or landed a lower grade contest at Ffos Las. But LIBERATION POINT made a winning debut for Mick Appleby’s yard in a maiden at Ripon and has plenty of scope with this extra distance likely to suit.
