Verdict
Roll The Dough was second at Warwick in May but still beaten 20 lengths. Shady Glen was engaged yesterday at Bangor while Full Shift and Foundation Man have become disappointing. Barton Rose has been raised 5lb for a recent third over course and distance and that looks too much so a tentative vote goes to ON DEMAND. Colin Tizzard’s mare appeals as the type to run well fresh and is having only her fourth run over fences having already been placed twice.
