Verdict
EMMA LAMB could be another for the in-form O’Keeffe team as she’s improved with every run and was beaten under a length here earlier in the month. Risk And Co progressed from his debut at Fakenham in April to finish third at Market Rasen last month but a couple of newcomers are worth a market check, though Honourary Gift is a half-brother to a winning chaser and will almost certainly need further and Ardglass Star is also bred for stamina.
