Verdict
Owens Lad and Foursome were unplaced when Blazer Two won over course and distance last month but the latter weakened quickly at Windsor next time and looks held by GEARING’S POINT on that run. Sheena West’s mare was back in the winner’s enclosure at Yarmouth and is having a good season, though Lailah would have a chance at the weights if showing a little improvement.
