Verdict
The likes of True Romance, Dorrells Pierji and Mulberry Hill lack a recent run but Paddy Brennan prefers the latter to The Bees Knees, who has been chasing. Global Agreement was never travelling when third at Newton Abbot but is almost back on a winning mark. Gloire D'athon also slips further down the ratings but PUFFIN BAY has been in better form and this is probably her trip nowadays.
