Verdict

Luv U Whatever was backed off the boards here last Friday but RESTIVE left him for dead in the closing stages and it’s no surprise that the in-form Iain Jardine turns out his charge again under a penalty. Bleu Et Noir bolted up in a Wolverhampton maiden last month and will have no problem with the longer trip but he’s having his first run on Fibresand. Percys Princess has won on Turf and Tapeta this year but has yet to score on this surface.
