Verdict

Sportsreport is back in form but has more to do than when successful at Plumpton last month. OWEN NA VIEW won this last year and the recent Southwell second can race off the same mark so a repeat is not out of the question, though this looks a competitive affair. Whispering Harry could figure if on a going day while Ultragold wasn't disgraced in a much better race last time. Starkie failed to land a gamble at Newton Abbot last month, however, while Cappielow Park was pulled up at Lingfield when he apparently had the ground in his favour. Go Conquer may need more time and Officer Drivel and Mr Muddle have a little to find on these terms.
