Verdict

A LIKELY STORY clearly isn't the most reliable but he's starting to look well-handicapped on old form and he ought to enjoy the nature of this course. Nora Batt hinted at a return to form last time and is another on a fair mark while Breezolini got back on track this summer and is worth considering if she can get away on terms.
  1. A Likely Story
  2. Nora Batt
  3. Breezolini
