In depth
Verdict
The Golden Unicorn and Clady both played up at the start of their respective debuts here and at Wolverhampton but the former still showed signs of promise. Black Sparrow has been consistent at a modest level while Miss Fernanda finished third over further at Lingfield last time. Teddy B and Red Fescue are worth noting for any market support but PROFESSOR GALANT will find this much easier than when fifth at Newbury so gets the nod.
