Verdict

Enfin Phil ran well under a penalty at Sedgefield last month though was due to run at the same track yesterday. Looks Like Murt was placed behind a winner rated 126 at Ayr on his latest start and that looks stronger form than Bluefortytwo’s more recent second at the same track with the disappointing favourite Carry On Arcadio well beaten but BALLY CONOR looks the one to side with. He couldn’t prevent the progressive Imperial Aura from landing a hat-trick when runner-up over track and trip in February but Ruth Jefferson’s charge finished clear of the rest and can go one better in this.
