Verdict
Driftwood Haze has gone up 3lb since his latest second over course and distance but has every chance in what looks a wide-open handicap. Town Parks showed plenty of grit to get off the mark in a Ludlow maiden while Another Frontier won over 3m at Taunton, though the latter’s stable is going through a quiet patch at present. PURE VISION (NAP) followed up a Lingfield victory with a close-up second at Uttoxeter and has a few more options now he’s proved he stays beyond 2m - he can give the Anthony Honeyball team a quick double. Harry Reed’s claim with help Sleep Easy but Instagram is returning from a lengthy absence in a competitive affair.
