Verdict
Plenty with claims but a chance is taken on BENBECULA on his earlier second over track and trip in a higher grade than this. May Be Some Time is usually thereabouts but still came up short under today's apprentice at Ffos Las and St Lawrence Gap is preferred on his recent second at Sandown. Brittleton will need to dig a bit deeper now 8lb higher than last month's win at Lingfield while Glens Wobbly has recorded all five wins to date at Bath. Uriah Heep and Street Entertainer were both placed on their return to the Flat last time with the former looking more favourably handicapped.
