Verdict
GNAAD made no mistake dropped back down into maiden company at Southwell earlier this month. He’d earlier been placed in a handicap at Wolverhampton when ahead of Billy's Boots and Glam'selle and should make another bold bid. He’ll need to reverse Wolverhampton running with second-placed Celerity but the latter has been well beaten since and Popsilca is preferred having won over track and trip in January.
