Verdict
Furniture Factors finally got his head in front when landing one of these events at Wolverhampton and escapes a penalty. But GALTON improved on his first attempt at this longer trip when beaten less than a length at Southwell. He’s taken to come out best today and reverse earlier running over 7f here with both Mr Coco Bean and Agonyclite. Urban Road went close at Musselburgh last summer and has his first start since.
