      Verdict

      Fast Medicine is improving with experience and was second over course and distance last month but a drop back to 7f should suit PERFECT BALANCE, who was outpointed by the odds-on Malhoob over a mile at Thirsk two weeks ago when he didn’t appear to get home. Green Believer is a half-brother to four winners so any market support for Mark Johnston’s newcomer would be significant.
