Verdict
Already placed three times here, Jack Sharp won well at Uttoxeter and Voyburg escapes a penalty for his win a conditionals’ race at Exeter last week. BLUMEN GLORY is more exposed than most but he’s proved versatile as to trip and rarely runs a bad race so should give supporters a run for their money again. Creative Control had only three rivals at Sedgefield but looks to be improving but Barney Stinson and Home Fire need more and Greenrock Abbey seems hard to catch right.
