Verdict
King Oswald was returning from a break at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and should do better back on Turf. War Of Succession looked a nice prospect at one point but has become disappointing. BARRSBROOK looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account after a couple of near-misses. He seemed well suited by fast going last time at Brighton and his yard is in good form at present.
