In depth
Verdict
Very green on debut at Laurel Park, V FOR VIOLENCE was still showing signs of inexperience here on his second start but he got the job done and justified strong market support in the process. He’s been given a couple of months to mature and is difficult to oppose in this. Brady’s Palace was a winner here in December but reverted to type the following month and hasn’t raced since. Woodburn Hall beat little here in February but should run his race again and has place claims along with Frathouse Music and Negroni Up. Wall’s form at Laurel Park was nothing special.
