Verdict

Putin pops-up when in the mood which he clearly was at Lingfield last week. He has 6lb extra to cope with today, while an 11lb rise for an earlier win at Wolverhampton seemed a bit harsh on Tartan Trip at the time and that's proved to be the case judged on his placed efforts since. GO FAR won a maiden event here on his only previous start on this surface and after a couple of subsequent outings on the Polytrack, Alan Bailey's charge is taken to land this back on the Fibresand. Both Great Expectations and George Fenton looks to be treading water off their current marks.
