Verdict

BLACK HAMBLETON gave notice of a big run today with a second over track and trip last time when finishing a couple of lengths ahead of Hermana Santa with Glorious Rocket further behind. He may prove good enough off his current mark and is preferred to Viking Way, who just missed out in a classified race at Wolverhampton recently. Skyva is capable of figuring off his current mark but Sienna Says recorded her only win so far over 5f so Highly Focussed makes more appeal.
