Verdict
Bobby Shaftoe is upped in trip bidding for a hat-trick of course wins and Yakhabar steps up from 1m2f after placing at Chelmsford. Tiger Spirit won at Southwell in January but was below par behind FREEWHEELIN at the same track when the latter finished runner-up over today’s distance and Tom Tate’s charge gets the vote to go one better. Typewritten will appreciate the return to this longer trip while hurdles winner Vintage Valley is handicapping on the Flat for the first time.
