Verdict
None of these inspire confidence with only a token vote going to AMOOD, a runner-up at Haydock on his penultimate start. Grandad's World has been slipping down the weights for two years now but looks no nearer returning to winning ways while Bella Alissa was well beaten on her handicap bow having won a maiden at Bath earlier. Bonjour Steve still seems high enough in the weights but Flowing Clarets was placed off today’s mark at Brighton earlier this week so has each-way claims.
