Verdict

A poor bumper race in terms of quality to finish the card with, however Alan Swinbank has an impressive track record in these types of races and he can add to that tally with his newcomer BAR BLU with both Vivarini and Flexi Time worth noting in the market. The selection has his debut outing but will have been well prepared for this at home. As mentioned his trainer is well respected in these races and it will not be a surprise to see plenty of support for him in the ring. Vivarini improved for his debut at Doncaster to finish an eye catching fourth of twelve at Fontwell last time out. With further improvement still to come he is sure to collect some prize money this time around. Of the other newcomers Flexi Time could be of interest coming from a yard that do well at this time of the year and that have a good strike rate at this track so is worth respecting. However for the winner we return to Bar Blu.
