Verdict

BETTER OFFER has been a total of 246/1 in three maiden runs but he shaped with more promise at Yarmouth last month and can take this step up in trip in his stride. Amy Weaver is a trainer on the up and if the market agrees then we should see more from this colt, and as his dam stayed well this extra distance today should suit down to the ground. Screenprint was gifted the race here in July but the form has worked out poorly and his latest run when pulled-up at Wolverhampton is worrying. All The Evil and Cometh both ran better races when last seen, however there may be more to fear from Oliver's Gold who has run in some hot maidens or All The Evil who looks an obvious improver now handicapping off a mark of 67.
