        Verdict

        A moderate way to end the card and Henry Island is given another chance to acquit himself well on the ground, with Ullshaw, Sconced and Joely Green expected to scrap it out for the minor roles. Henry Island reacts well to strong handling and David Kinsella seems to be building up a good working relationship with him. The partnership were just collared close home at Bath last time out, but similar tactics could easily win the day here. Joely Green and Ullshaw are closely matched on these terms so Sconced may be the one to chase Henry Island home for the forecast.
