Verdict

Lagenda was narrowly beaten at Catterick recently with TADAAWOL not far behind in fourth. The latter can reverse running in this with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance in his favour and had beaten Short Work at Catterick earlier. David O'Meara's charge went on to score over 6f at Pontefract while God Willing went close at Thirsk under today’s apprentice last week. Ticks The Boxes was runner-up at the same track in an amateurs' race last month while Roll On Rory finished ahead of Chiswick Bey when placed at Beverley. Jacob's Pillow beat Royal Connoisseur easily enough over 6f at Hamilton on his penultimate start so also enters the reckoning in a wide-open handicap.
