Verdict
BLACK MEDICK (NAP) landed a course and distance double with victory in an apprentices’ race earlier in the week and escapes a penalty. She can take advantage and is worth sticking with in her current form. Both Saucy Encore and Blue Dawn have something to find with the selection on earlier running here but Mr Mac has placed off today’s mark the last twice and is another to consider. Gates Pass went close at Chelmsford when last on the Flat in October and could also be in the mix.
