Verdict
Eton College has placed recently but never threatened on either occasion while Purple Poppy finished third over track and trip before winning over 7f at Lingfield. Bhubezi placed over the same distance back in February while WIZARDING is another 7f winner but Heather Main’s charge has yet to race over this far and a chance is taken he lasts home with a tongue strap fitted for the first time.
