In depth
Verdict
A competitve heat with Admiral Peary chasing a hat-trick. He took a while to get his act together over timber, but has struck form with a vengeance of late. Polly Gundry has won on him before, but he looks to have plenty on off his present mark. Kaid the winner of a seller here last month has more to do in this, while the disappointing Moon Spinner looks one to avoid. A chance is taken with Compton Amica, who is running well at present and looked as though this sort of trip ought to suit when staying on at Bangor, off this mark last time.
