Verdict
Rectory Oak was a very lucky winner when left to come home alone at Newton Abbot in July but is back on a winning mark. FRESH NEW DAWN has a very modest strike-rate but did win at Market Rasen last year off today’s mark and he may have been freshened up by a break. Special Buddy recorded a first success under Rules at Plumpton last month but Bolsover Bill has shown nothing in two runs so far over fences and Who Is That may be in need of a confidence-booster.
