Verdict
It was testing ground when Lickpenny Larry scored at Leicester and he’s 4lb higher today. But GOUET DES BRUYERES won easily on good going at Wetherby earlier in the week and another bold bid looks likely with similar underfoot conditions today. Go As You Please has been raised 4lb for finishing runner-up at Huntingdon while Armattiekan remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Catterick in November though has landed a jumpers' bumper at Newcastle subsequently.
