Verdict

DEEDS NOT WORDS bids for a hat-trick having landed a recent double at Chelmsford including an apprentices’ race last week. He escapes a penalty today and looks the one to beat in his current form. Sir Hector has been in good form over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton but has yet to win over this far while Bernie's Boy can be forgiven a poor effort at Southwell and went close the last time he raced here when finishing in front of Mercers. Illustrious Spirit has the beating of both Invisible Storm and Jonnysimpson on earlier form at the track though disappointed last time.
