Verdict

Anthony Honeyball is mob-handed in this bumper. Of his quartet of newcomers Oakley‘s Way, who cost £55,000 and is a half-brother to four winners, makes most appeal. Hill Spirit has already placed at Huntingdon and Newcastle but James Turner’s claim takes care of LIGHTNING FLASH’s penalty and the Ludlow winner is fancied to complete a double. Dodger Long is improving with experience so looks a threat.
