Verdict

Gordon Elliott has runners in all but one of the races on today’s card and BRAID BLUE should get the raiding party off to a winning start having won easily over course and distance in April. True Romance beat a long odds-on chance at Southwell and may be open to further progress but does have an extra half-mile to cover. Put The Law On You wasn’t beaten far in a bumper in January but has finished tailed off in three runs on the Flat since.
