Verdict

Praxeology just got the better of Ainsdale in a handicap at Chester last time with Vintage Times further behind. He should go well again raised only 3lb but HE’S A LADDIE went close at Chelmsford last week on his handicap bow and Archie Watson’s charge looks capable of scoring off his current mark if handling the surface. What A Business ran well in a decent nursery at Ayr a week ago and is preferred to the frustrating Sermon, who returned a losing favourite once again on his latest start.
