Verdict
WARBROOK still showed signs of inexperience when only fourth in a 7f maiden here last month. But he kept on well in the closing stages having been slowly away and there's a good chance that the step back up in distance will suit. He's now fitted with a hood to help him concentrate and can give weight to a largely more exposed bunch. Ronya, having her first run on the Polytrack, may be capable of better but hasn't raced since October. Crowdmania also returns from a break and makes his all-weather debut while Plough Boy probably needs further and Evacusafe Lady was still beaten six length when runner-up at Southwell.
