Verdict
Pearlysteps, who easily beat Gunmoney on heavy going at Towcester last month, was due to take his chance at Ludlow yesterday which has probably left the way open for BRUNSWICK GOLD to make a successful return to racing under Rules. He was successful for Steve Gollings at Market Rasen last May and has won a couple of times between the flags for his new yard this winter.
