Verdict

Several of these have been thereabouts of late including Jay Kay but he still found one too good at Carlisle last time despite today’s apprentice helping his cause. Character Onesie was placed in a novelty contest at Doncaster recently and Rock N Rolla is preferred on last week’s second at Musselburgh. Cliff Bay is inching closer and was placed here last time while fast ground at Musselburgh may have been a legitimate excuse for EDGAR ALLAN POE (NAP) failing to land a hat-trick. Winning partner Daniel Tudhope is back on board for this and he gets another chance on his earlier form that included a course and distance success.
