Verdict

Teen Ager landed a double earlier in the year and remains in fine fettle. An apprentice's claim negates a further rise in the weights after finishing ahead of West Leake when third here last time. Bold Ring has found it harder to hold his form since scoring over track and trip in May so Fenella Fudge makes more appeal back over 7f. SHEIKH THE REINS failed to score last year and has tumbled down the weights as a result. But he looks set for a return to winning ways after going close at Warwick and John Best's charge gets the nod in the opener.
