Verdict

Polar Cloud is penalised for winning an amateurs' race over 1m6f but Highway One scored over today’s trip at Kempton before beaten back at the same track. The consistent Lady Elysia and Devizes are others upped in distance but BIRD FOR LIFE is a multiple winner over 2m and had Gavlar back in third when scoring over track and trip in May. She drops back down in class today and should be bang there at the finish.
