Verdict
LADWEB has returned to form this year with three victories so far including last month’s success at Sandown. Upped a further 5lb but dropping down in class, he should make another bold bid. Soul Brother is another dropping back down a grade after attempting to make all here last time when Dark Defender beat Classy Anne. The latter went on to win at Musselburgh while Fredricka can effectively race off a lower mark than when winning at Thirsk in May if an apprentice’s allowance is taken into account. Ballesteros has place claims off his current mark but has only won once since 2012.
