Verdict
Back Bar was entered in the 4.10 Warwick yesterday. SAMETEGAL has the stand-out form but enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that he hasn’t won in almost five years and never over a trip this far. All of Porlock Bay’s form is over shorter distances but Captain Cattistock over further and was in front when unseating his rider at Doncaster at this time last year, though carries a penalty. Envoye Special is another stepping up in trip but he was an eye-catcher over 3m at Larkhill having a first run between the flags.
