Verdict
Joanna Mason is one of the more accomplished amateurs and partners the progressive and still unexposed ADVANCED VIRGO. He’s taken to stay this extra distance and shrug off a penalty having completed a double over 1m2f. Master Grey has a shout on a recent second at Chepstow while Emily Easterby and Duke Of Yorkshire have teamed up to win two of their last three outings and Becky Smith was on board Luv U Whatever when the latter won at Ayr in May. A couple of leading amateurs partner Attain and Gripper respectively and that pair are both worth a second glance.
