Verdict

UNWANTED ATTENTION is very much getting the hang of things over fences now, clear of the rest when second at Cartmel, and can quickly resume winning ways. Gentle Connections was back on song after an absence when second at Bangor and is the obvious threat along with Coconut Twist, who made a winning start over fences in good style for new connections at Newton Abbot.

  2. GENTLE CONNECTIONS
