Verdict

SOME NIGHTMARE confirmed the promise of his opening pair of exploits this term when adding a third C&D success to his tally in April and a 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid now. Michaels Choice who returned to his best on debut for Eve Johnson Houghton to score at Salisbury 2 weeks ago and Follow Your Heart are next best. Handytalk also makes each-way appeal returned to this venue.
