Verdict

With the expectation of more to come now going hurdling Exeter bumper winner STORY OF FRIENDS, who has also scored between the flags, looks the one to be on. Yccs Portocervo is having a first run for Richard Newland having showed ability in France and can’t be left out of calculations but Dontcounturchikens was a long way behind the principals when third at Newton Abbot. Montana Grey and Overflow have scope so are worth a market check.
