Verdict
Leroy Leroy rather lost his way in the autumn and might need this run. Punctuation is 2-2 since joining Fergal O’Brien but had to be ridden right out last time at Newbury and is 8lb higher now. Independence has been knocking on the door and the four-year-old Nazwa is another with each-way claims but HEAD LAW (NAP) was fourth in decent company at Newbury in December and returned from a break to land the odds at Huntingdon. An opening mark of 109 in handicaps isn’t excessive given he should have plenty more to offer.
