Verdict
Admiral Nelson won at Newcastle on his debut for a new yard and is 4lb higher while Wilde And Dandy was beaten only a nose at Chelmsford. Thapa VC placed at Lingfield and Shaw Park posted a better effort last time but the vote goes to ARIKA. The latter will be sharper for a recent outing at Wolverhampton and may well improve now handicapping with Jane Chapple-Hyam’s yard in fine form.
