Verdict

Foxy Boy scored in this lowly grade at Wolverhampton last time but had done all his winning so far over the minimum trip. DODGY BOB makes more appeal over today’s distance having gone close the last twice and dropping down in class today. I Am Dandy won over 7f here on his penultimate outing but that’s his only success in 18 attempts but Sovereign State could bounce back to form at any time as he tumbles further down the weights.
