Verdict

This is no better than the previous division but FERNGROVE found only one too good when sent off favourite at Catterick on his return from a three-month break and may be good enough. Nora Batty remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Chepstow in June and Ninepointsixthree is penalised for winning at the same track just two days ago. Wowee is less exposed than most and Santayana was placed over track and trip on a couple of occasions in July.
