In depth
Verdict
Violet's Lads has now found one too good in four of eight outings on the all-weather and looks worth taking on again. Wind Storm and Catapult are others regularly thereabouts without winning but Farump was beaten less than a length when only fourth at Wolverhampton last week. Several make their handicap debuts and are expected to improve including Eufemia and Speed Skater, who both posted better efforts over shorter trips last time, but MINUTY stayed on well to finish fourth behind a winner rated 75 over 6f here recently and Rae Guest’s filly may prove good enough with the extra distance expected to suit.
