Verdict
AGE OF SAIL (NAP) faced a stiffer task at Sandown on last month’s handicap bow but finished a promising third and a bold bid is expected in this lower grade. Ve Day placed at Newbury on his handicap bow but drops down in distance today along with Wolverhampton third Eagle One and Beverley runner-up Liquid Metric. Arclight went close at Brighton recently but this is more competitive.
