Verdict
Blenheim Boy won easily on the soft ground at Ripon but is upped in class and raised 10lb. Golden Voice returned to action with a maiden success over 7f at Newcastle while MAPLEWOOD scored over today’s trip in novice company at Windsor. An apprentice’s allowance helps his cause now handicapping and the Godolphin charge may edge an open contest. Thirsk winner Yellow Bear and Far Away Thoughts are others handicapping for the first time while Bullet Force and the returning Vaccine are not out of this either.
