Verdict

DEFINITE WISDOM was well on top at the finish when making it 2 from 2 over this C&D 2 weeks ago and this lightly-raced 7-y-o is taken to defy top weight. Pakie's Dream was in top form before he crumpled on landing at the first at Market Rasen and remains of interest, while Buckled shaped better than the result indicates at Sedgefield and is back down in class.

  1. DEFINITE WISDOM (IRE)

  3. BUCKLED
