Verdict

Greybychoice is penalised for a walk over at Lingfield last Saturday but makes no appeal on his earlier form and the filly With Caution is preferred on a debut success at Lingfield despite her penalty. But EMPTY PROMISES finished well ahead of the re-opposing Rakastava when beaten only a neck over track and trip on his introduction and local trainer Frank Bishop’s colt is taken to go one better with normal progress. Divied showed a big improvement at Newcastle last time and could figure but the remainder are hard to recommend.
