Verdict

Driftwood finished runner-up over 7f here a couple of days ago but was three lengths behind MARVE when the latter won a novices’ race over course and distance earlier in the month beating a subsequent winner in the process. There should be more to come from the latter now handicapping and he can go in again. Secret Handsheikh found one too good in a handicap here last time while River Wharfe landed a nursery at Chelmsford back in November and Impeach finished second at Kempton on his handicap bow.
