Verdict

Pottlerath has proved expensive to follow so we’ll concentrate on those towards the head of the weights. Greenrock Abbey needs forgiving a poor run at Bangor last month but Daire McConville takes off 10lb again. Braganza Bay was prominent for a long way on his first run since a wind operation at Wincanton but it’s about time bumper winner SURE TOUCH was getting his head in front over timber and he can race off the same mark as when a close third at Fakenham.
