      Verdict

      Bilko's Back was second in a small race at Ffos Las in November but then only beat one home at Sedgefield. Mortens Leam doesn't appear to be improving while Picknick Park was beaten a long way at Bangor. CHRISTMAS IN APRIL doesn't look anything special on breeding but is likely to know what's required and can get the better of fellow newcomer Winido.
