Verdict

Larkbarrow Lad has become expensive to follow and it’s no surprise that Tom O’Brien sticks with Ebony Gale, who has already won three times this year. What's Occurring won off a higher mark two years ago but has been hard to train and is now tried in cheekpieces. Accordingtogino is back on a winning mark but is out of sorts unlike BROTHER PAT, who has done nothing but improve since tackling fences and can defy a further 10lb rise under regular partner Theo Gillard.
