In depth
Verdict
PERCY VEERING got his act together to open his account at Warwick on his seasonal debut and another bold bid is expected. Bob Bank finished a long way behind the selection with Patient Owner failing to complete but it was heavy going at Newton Abbot in September when Frankie Faulkner was narrowly beaten and the latter can figure again. Concrete King has slipped down the weights and is preferred to Hey Bud of the rest.
