        Verdict

        LONELY BOY continued his good progress when landing the odds at Wolverhampton with the minimum of fuss. Karl Burke’s charge should make another bold bid and is preferred to Sky Defender, who appeared to have little excuse when well beaten at York last time having gone close at Goodwood on his earlier debut. But, given connections, the latter may well bounce back today and Castle Quarter showed ability when placed at Beverley on his introduction while Dancin Boy posted a better effort at Thirsk last time, albeit in soft going.
