In depth

Verdict

Hongkong Adventure possibly didn’t stay 2m4f at Southwell last Wednesday. Fergus Gregory can claims the maximum in a poor contest and Olly Murphy’s charge could yet come good. Petrify should be able to figure off bottom weight but the one to beat may be PENGO’S BOY, who’s been accustomed to taking on much better opposition that this.
