Verdict
ARTICLE FIFTY was all at sea on heavy going last time at Bangor but had won a bumper by five lengths at better ground at Uttoxeter in Uttoxeter and this looks a chance to make amends. Chelsea Flyer probably hasn’t fulfilled expectations over hurdles but was never out of the frame in three starts in bumpers. Volpone Jelois has been running on Polytrack on the Flat and been placed three times lately so should go well and Land League also has claims along with Welluptoscratch and Shall We Go Now.
