Verdict
POTTERMAN came good at the fourth attempt over hurdles when stepped up to this trip at Huntingdon. James Bowen’s claim takes a chunk out of his penalty and he should beat sole rival Sonic, who has now had six runs under Rules without managing to get his head in front including three over this sort of distance.
