In depth
Verdict
Ye Gud Thing could only manage third under a penalty at Yarmouth having won at the same track before that. BICEP was outclassed in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time having made winning debut at Lingfield earlier with Wrought Iron back in fourth. Archie Watson’s charge looks worth another chance back at this level and gets the nod. Burning Bush and Millie Lou have recorded their best efforts over 7f but Bluebell Way is steadily improving and makes more appeal.
