Verdict

A contest thin on quality and it should be all about the top three on the racecard, with the suggestion being BOAGRIUS, who can improve on his Ludlow debut and receives 7lb from Sedgefield scorer Thumb Stone Rules. Be Daring remains of interest on his comeback appearance and can pick up some money.
  1. Boagrius
  2. Thumb Stone Blues
  3. Be Daring
