Verdict

No shortage of good and winning Fibresand form here and despite the penalty ACKER BILK looked to win with a little in hand last time and could well have more to offer despite the shorter trip. It’s hard to fault the record of Luv U Whatever at this track especially at this trip and he’s looks the main danger with the seemingly rejuvenated Serenity Now another worthy of respect despite the shorter trip. Epitaph and Star Ascending both have form here but look held off their current marks.
  1. Acker Bilk
  2. Luv U Whatever
  3. Serenity Now
