Verdict
NOVABRIDGE returned from a four month layoff with a win in soft ground at Ffos Las. A penalty is negated by an apprentice's claim and Neil Mulholland's charge can go in again in similar company. Spic 'n Span has plenty to find with the selection on latest running while Arch Walker looks in need of some respite from the handicapper judged on his recent placed efforts. Liberal Lady has claims dropping down a grade but last month's winners Whiskey Junction and Strategic Action would prefer a faster surface.
