        Verdict

        Shallow Hal won over 6f here before finishing runner-up over the same trip ahead of Zylan. But stablemate GRAVITY FORCE had won over course and distance before going close again at Doncaster and the latter may prove the one to side with back on this surface. Moretti won at Thirsk earlier but could only manage fourth when last on the Fibresand while War Defender’s recent success at the track came in maiden company.
