Verdict

OUR IDIC BOY is a sizeable gelding who's showing the benefit of a very patient approach and confirmed his reappearance promise when off the mark in good style at Newcastle on Thursday. Effectively only 5 lb higher here under a penalty, he's taken to follow up at the main expense of fellow-penalised winner Top Man, who took advantage of his reduced mark when seeming suited by this trip at Plumpton.

  1. OUR IDIC BOY (IRE)
  2. TOP MAN (IRE)
  3. ART OF DIPLOMACY
