The Amber Fort won an amateurs' race at Wolverhampton in April and Bobby Joe Leg scored at the same track in the same month. Major Crispies has been thereabouts on the all-weather recently while Space War went close over 7f at Redcar on his penultimate start. But ROUND THE ISLAND is back on the same mark as when landing last year’s renewal and Richard Whitaker’s charge may well be good enough again in what looks a weak renewal.
