Verdict

This looks an extremely modest maiden bumper with course and distance runner-up Sid Hoodie having already raced three times. GOOD LITTLE WIFE has five lengths to find with Charlie Mann’s filly but has the greater scope for improvement so is taken to turn the tables. Former pointer Primal Focus wouldn’t need to be anything special to figure and makes more appeal than Simon The Great and the others.
