Verdict

A couple arrive on the back of impressive course and distance wins. Nataleena may well cope with the rise in class having won by six lengths a fortnight ago but ANYONECANHAVEITALL (NAP) returned a clear winner in this grade last month and Mark Johnston’s charge is taken to go in again. Carbon Dating has been thereabouts over 1m4f recently but Echo gets a change of headgear after struggling at York and was beaten by Swordbill over 1m6f at Doncaster during the summer.
