Verdict
Fern Owl gets a change of headgear after finishing runner-up in a seller over course and distance and is preferred to stablemate Genuine Approval. But LAFILIA was beaten less than a length in a handicap over today’s trip at Chepstow just three days ago and should be bang there at the finish in this lowly grade with a similar effort. The three-year-old Maiden Navigator has a shout on these terms and is preferred to the more exposed older horses such as Captain Scott, Carraigin Aonair and Splash Around.
