Verdict
It was only a matter of time before MAJOR ASSAULT took advantage of a slide down the weights and he duly did so at Lingfield last time. Another bold bid is expected now he’s finally off the mark and he’s taken to confirm latest running with the runner-up Noble Deed. New Rich has every chance having won here earlier and going close again at Wolverhampton last week while Nag's Wag and Billy's Boots filled the places over 5f at Lingfield recently with the former preferred over today’s trip.
