      Verdict

      Reggino never threatened when fourth at Beverley though finished just in front of First Impression with Take That further behind. Island Storm is preferred on last month’s third at Kempton given the runner-up has subsequently won at Thirsk when URBAN HERO finished third. But the latter will benefitted for that debut experience and it’s Archie Watson’s charge that gets the vote to come out best with normal progress.
