Verdict
Padleyourowncanoe made a winning return to action when scoring over a mile here but he’s not certain to stay this longer trip so a chance is taken that LOOK MY WAY handles the Fibresand. He posted his best effort yet when stepped up to 1m4f at Lingfield on his handicap debut and further progress is expected from Andrew Balding’s charge. Log Off won a maiden over a mile here back in January but has struggled over longer trips of late and the remainder make even less appeal on what little they have shown so far.
