Verdict

BERKELEY VALE returned to action with a second over course and distance. He should go close again with a similar effort. Idol Deputy found only one too good at Wolverhampton in between his more usual poor form while Rakaan's earlier win here came in a claimer over 1m2f. Putin pops-up at this level when the mood takes him and Indus Valley went close over 7f here last month but has done all his winning so far over shorter trips.
