Verdict

Haar had been called plenty of names in the past but Andrew Turnell has had the last laugh as the nine-year-old has posted three victories on the spin. Power Pack Jack ran out a ready winner at Ffos Las, and with the handicapper taking evasive action, Nigel Twiston-Davies elects to use Ryan Hatch's claim in order to offset some of that inevitable rise up the weights. To Live was impressive last Sunday and Nick Gifford faced little option but to go to the well again, but we will take a view about STRUMBLE HEAD. Peter Bowen's gelding is a previous winner on firm ground and he may have been sharpened up for the application of a visor. Rockiteer put up his best performance for some time when second here in June and there's a cogent argument to suggest him as still being well handicapped at present.
