In depth
Verdict
FINAL VOYAGE (NAP) ended last year with a double and defied a 7lb rise over track and trip to complete the hat-trick. James Tate’s progressive colt may not have finished winning yet. A couple of these return to action and Mystery Angel has gone close in Listed company since winning a handicap at Newmarket while Henrik won a novices race at Newcastle back in October. Nortonthorpe Boy makes a quick reappearance after failing in a bid for a four-timer when well beaten at Kempton earlier this week.
