In depth

Verdict

FENDALE won a shade cosily over track and trip last month on his first outing since October. There looks more to come from Bryan Smart’s sprinter effectively racing off a lower mark today with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Justice Lady was beaten only a neck here when last in action with Rumshak back in fifth and Dapper Man also returns from a lay-off. Another Angel finished in front of Primo's Comet when placed at Wolverhampton last time and can figure again but Tommy G has done all his winning to date over longer trips.
