Verdict
LONDONIA came good over timber when landing a handicap at Ffos Las under Richard Johnson. The latter keeps the winning partnership intact and Graeme McPherson’s charge can go in again. Layerthorpe was over six lengths behind the selection last time but Henry Oliver was placed in an amateur’s race at Hexham recently and can figure. Chorlton House shaped a little better when fourth at Huntingdon in maiden company but Southwell fourth Today Please makes more appeal dropping down a grade. Ann Maries Reject may prove best of the remainder.
