Verdict
GOOD IMPRESSION was upsides the eventual winner and still going well when falling two out at Ffos Las. A winner at Fakenham and Uttoxeter in January, compensation awaits here with a clear round. Gerard Mentor is 0-10 but placed three times in the autumn and could be a contender if fully wound up. Eventful won a mares’ handicap at Plumpton in February and Honestlyntrufully started favourite here in the same month while Military Tactic and Appreciate may have place claims.
