      Verdict

      Laubali finally opened his account when scoring at Wolverhampton but may find life tough under a penalty and FAITHFUL PROMISE is preferred. The latter started the year on a 12lb higher mark for Mark Johnston and gave notice of a return to form with a recent second at Ayr. She’s switched yard’s since but looks set for a return to winning ways with an apprentice’s allowance further helping her cause. The remainder are harder to recommend though it won’t be long before Finsbury Park is winning for Ruth Carr as he slips further down the weights.
