Verdict
It was heavy going when Road Warrior finally opened his account with a victory at Sedgefield. But he’s been raised 8lb for that first success while Blakerigg is back on a winning mark but hasn’t raced since 2019. LASTIN’ MEMORIES put a couple of poor efforts behind him when second at Kelso a fortnight ago. The return to this longer trip will suit and Sandy Forster’s charge can confirm latest running with Mah Mate Bob. Ard Chros is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
