Plenty with claims in this including recent Lingfield third Geoff Potts, who beat Pretty Bubbles with Deeds Not Words further behind. Both Higher Court and Run With Pride won over track and trip last time with the former beating Very Honest while Bahamian Heights was successful at Chelmsford under today’s apprentice last time. But ARNARSON went close at Wolverhampton last week having slipped down the weights and looks set to finally get his head in front off his current mark.
