Verdict

Douglas Pasha needs to improve on an ordinary debut at Wolverhampton while Botteen only beat one home at the same track last month. Fearless Lad showed some promise over today's track and trip 11 days ago, however, though was only a neck ahead of today's rival Lively Little Lady. JIMMY THE SNOOZE only found Black Dave too good here on his second start and the winner followed up in handicap company next time. Stuart Williams' colt is the one to beat on that form though a market move for Gerard Butler's Choisir newcomer Sharaar, who was a 20,000gns yearling and is a half-brother to several winners, would be interesting.
