        Verdict

        A couple of these bid for hat-tricks but Admirable Lad is 9lb higher than when completing a double in classified company. Morty won easily at Southwell last time but beat For Peat's Sake by only a head at Chelmsford before that with The Tron further behind. NACHO (NAP) won over track and trip back in May and after finishing runner-up back here last time ahead of both Gustav Graves and Arkid so Donald McCain’s charge may be the one to side with.
