Verdict

POSTMARK was set a stiff task in the Dovecote just 6 days on from winning an ordinary Newbury maiden, so he has to be worth another chance back in calmer waters based on his useful Flat ability. VE Day scored with a bit in hand on his Musselburgh hurdling debut and can be expected to improve, while Call Me Tara made a good start to her hurdle career last summer and remains with potential back from a break.
