Verdict

THE WISE ONE does not need to improve much for the longer trip and faster conditions to pick up his first race for James Ewart. The Irish point-to-point winner has raced on unfavourable ground since arriving here. The stable's horses are now performing better and he is taken to land this at the expense of Miss Barbossa. She now tackles her optimum trip in the cheekpieces which had the desired effect last time. Grand Enterprise has been running consistently well and another bold show can be expected despite topweight. His trainer is doing well with his small string of horses and had a winner and a second at Hexham last week.
  1. The Wise One
  2. Miss Barbossa
