Verdict

Ferryview Place is penalised for winning over track and trip on Boxing Day with both placed horses, Nonchalant and Frivolous Prince, beaten less than a length. That trio are hard to separate and My Mistress may struggle carrying 6lb extra after winning the other division of the same handicap. SYNODIC makes more appeal having finally taken advantage of a tumble down the weights to score at Chelmsford last month. He’s upped in the weights but was racing off much higher marks last year and can go in again.
