      Verdict

      A couple won their latest starts with Law Of The Sea scoring at Kempton in January under today’s apprentice while Thomas Cochrane won at the same track more recently. Laura Pearson’s allowance negates the latter’s penalty but ATACAMENA may prove the one to side with. She just failed to catch the winner at Wolverhampton last month with a subsequent winner back in third - the Crisfords' filly can go one better. Gustav Holst is a full brother to the smart Al Muffrih but Ballantruan is fitted with headgear for his debut.
