Verdict

This looks something of a lottery with FRIENDLY ADVICE getting a speculative vote. He just failed to prevent Herringswell from landing a course and distance double last time but re-opposes on better terms with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Good Night Mr Tom, Ghathanfar and I Know How all won over track and trip on their latest starts while Be Proud won over 5f here last month and Burrows Seeside went close at the track attempting to land a hat-trick and returns to his winning trip. Thowq makes her handicap debut and isn’t out of this either.
