Verdict

FURZIG scored over track and trip last time and can effectively race off a lower mark with Billy Garritty’s allowance taken into account. Eye Knee also won here last month with a below par Luna Magic behind while Emiyn easily beat Little Ted when successful over a shorter trip at Chester and is 6lb higher. The Dancing Poet faced a more difficult task at York on his latest start having landed a double before that including a course and distance success.
