Verdict
HEATH CHARNOCK was beaten less a length by Brushwork, due to run in the previous race, when starting favourite over track and trip last time. Michael Dods’ charge gets another chance racing off the same mark as he drops in class. Wasntexpectingthat moves in the opposite direction having won a couple of lower grade sprints and is raised a further 6lb while there was little between Storm Over and Double Up when they occupied the places at Wolverhampton last month. Reckless Endeavour was placed over 7f recently but has a shout on an earlier second over course and distance and looks best of the rest.
