Verdict

Herbiegoesbananas couldn't get the job done from the front at Downpatrick last time and has quickly become expensive to follow since his return from a long absence. He's not one of the leading lights at Closutton, but should pick up a race soon. Preference is for GUNFIRE REEF, who has been in good form over fences lately and can race from a much lower mark in this sphere. He may be worth another chance over timber. Similar sentiments apply to October Revolution while Jaunty Velocity and Each Way are possible improvers.
  1. Gunfire Reef
  2. Herbiegoesbananas
  3. Each Way
