Verdict

Fiftyshadesofred showed signs of a return to form when placed at Chelmsford last time and is preferred to Wolverhampton runner-up Revolutionary Man in this grade. BURABACK is back on a winning mark and was sent off favourite over track and trip on only his third outing for Mick Appleby but narrowly missed out. He gets a change of headgear and is taken to go one better in this. Lilkian hasn’t raced over this far for a long time but may prove best of the remainder.
