Verdict
None of this bunch inspire confidence with only a token vote going to recent Kempton third FAIRWAY TO HEAVEN. He’s one of several that have tumbled down the weights this year along with Hisar and Broadhaven Honey. Wild Flower has won twice on Turf this year but was only third on the all-weather in between while Justice Rock won at Chelmsford earlier in the month but hasn’t figured since. Quite A Story won off a higher mark last year but has switched yards recently but Wimboldsey was placed here in August.
