Verdict

Broken Quest hacked up at Kempton last week having got off the mark previously at Huntingdon. He may well defy his penalty and complete the hat-trick but HEREWEGO HEREWEGO was far from disgraced when trying to give weight to the useful Burrow’s Edge at Market Rasen 10 days ago and he is Barry Geraghty’s only booked ride on the card. The Sweeney has shown promise and can’t be ignored and a similar comment applies to the consistent Snapdragon Fire. Trust The Man is preferred to Roll Of The Dice of the remainder.
