Verdict

Restandbethankful was all out to score at Perth and it is almost 12 months since Flying Sara won more easily at Taunton. Onemorefortheroad and Full Spes have racecourse experience but weren’t really progressing last season. Bennie Boy’s stable enjoy plenty of success in races like this and One For You is also worth a market check but OPTIMUS PRIME is bred for the job being by Shantou out of an Oscar mare than won a bumper and two hurdles races – he can make a winning debut.
