Verdict
VALDAW landed the odds at Kempton last time in good style. He's hard to oppose in this company with an apprentice negating a 5lb rise and has every chance of following up. Glennten finished well behind the former before posting a better run at Wolverhampton on Monday while Waterloo Dock had the measure of both Back For Tea and Chjimes when a close-up second over track and trip and he can figure. Lady Mango is back on a winning mark though she's yet to show the benefit.
