Verdict
Vering's second at Wincanton was his best effort so far over timber. Entry To Evrywhere has also shown some improvement of late but stablemate Lough Derg Island has proved a disappointment. Olympian Boy and The Sneezer aren't getting any younger but Triple Chief is only five and must have some sort of chance on his third over course and distance two weeks ago. BRISE COEUR is probably worth another chance, however, as he was making his debut for new connections when a beaten favourite at Warwick and the talented Lizzie Kelly again takes off 5lb.
