Verdict

AMBITIOUS BOY may have only won an amateurs’ race here last month but that’s the only recent winning form on offer in a low grade affair and he should go well again. Snow Excuse has been thereabouts lately and finished in front of Magicinthemaking and Drop Kick Murphi when fourth at Chelmsford while Jessie Allan was narrowly beaten over 7f at Newcastle. Mistry wasn’t beaten far when fifth over track and trip and High Anxiety went close in a maiden race at Southwell.
