Held up, never on terms

In depth

Verdict

Both Christmas Night and Watheer finished closer on their latest starts but the latter was behind AIR OF YORK over track and trip earlier. Grace Harris’ charge has subsequently won at Bath and wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Windsor last time. Freedom And Wheat disappointed here having placed before that but New Look finished in front of Final Attack when third over a longer trip last month and is also preferred to Trust Me.
