Verdict
Deeds Not Words attempts to land a quick hat-trick of course and distance wins having scored here on Wednesday but looks up against it on these terms given VENTURA BLUES is rated much higher off a mark of 81. The latter drops back down in trip having failed to win last year but Richard Hannon’s charge should go close in this grade. Bernie's Boy also has a shout as he drops into plating company and Sweet And Dandy may also figure if at her best on her return from a lay-off.
