Verdict
Furni Factors has been knocking on the door over 5f but was well beaten on his only previous try over this extra furlong and that has to be a concern, though he appears to hold Jampower on the form book. Ideal Spirit, Ghost and DISPLAYING AMBER were all behind Ron Thompson’s gelding here at the end of January but the latter was finishing best of all and looks likely to be suited by a return to 6f. Section Onesixsix may be capable of better with Southwell runner-up Team Showme preferred to Coastal Drive of the others.
