Life Of Laughter made most for a comfortable success over George Fernbeck in a similar contest at Huntingdon and though the runner-up is better off at the weights Willie Musson's charge can confirm the form. Ueueteotl just held on from Hi George at Carlisle but the placed horses have been beaten subsequently and a penalty won't help. Plenty of these are bred for the Flat including Feudal Spirit, a son of Monsieur Bond, but a chance is taken with REGAL SWAIN, who is a half-brother to two winning bumpers and a winner on the Flat. The market is best watched as to the potential of the remaining newcomers.
