Verdict
PEPPAY LE PUGH was outstayed by Wishfull Dreaming at Carlisle on Saturday but that was over fences. He’s adaptable and consistent and may have too much speed for the younger Friend Or Foe, who ran over 2m3f at Newbury last time and has never encountered ground this quick. Tilson may complete in his own time.
