Verdict

Etania won at Stratford in March but was then well beaten at Kempton. Hunter chaser Archie Boy was third in a handicap at Southwell two weeks ago but is now in the veteran stage. Cinevator has been running in points while the ex-Irish Railway Storm may need time to acclimatise but Isthereadifference won at Taunton in April, though was never really travelling when only third over this trip at Huntingdon next time. LADFROMHIGHWORTH gets little respite from the handicapper but this lightly-raced sort continues to run well and deserves to get his head back in front, though Handsome Horace is a danger having failed to last home here on his latest start.
