Verdict
A really competitive handicap over the minimum trip now with many form horses running but our tentative goes to WRENINGHAM who gets a short head verdict over Rough Rock and Whiskey Junction. The selection hails from the Stuart Williams yard that do very well with their horses here at Yarmouth. His latest effort was a bit disappointing but is given one more chance to make up for that short priced defeat. Rough Rock is very much the form horse in the race and has really improved this year. His latest runs have been very good but today's drop in trip is a concern. He will still be in the shake up though. Whiskey Junction ran behind a decent type in Peter Island on his latest start and today's assignment is easier. Others to note in this highly competitive race are Danzoe, Brynfa Boy and Solemn but a tentative vote goes to Wreningham.
