Verdict
Good Man Vinnie looks a light of former days and Good News is also best watched but IMPHAL (NAP) stepped up to 3m at Ludlow and duly got off the mark. He’s only been raised a pound so this is a good opportunity to double his tally. The Tin Miner is probably a few pounds too high at present and lacks a recent run while Lelantos has proved disappointing, though does slip further down the weights.
