Verdict

The step up to this trip brought about immediate improvement in BOBBY'S NELSON at Ffos Las where he landed a 12-runner maiden in pretty good style. There should be better to come from this 7-y-o and he is preferred to Swindon Village, who will be a threat back at 2½m having run out of petrol upped to 3m at Windsor last time. Point winner Boultydoolin is by far the most interesting of the remaining quartet.

  1. BOBBY'S NELSON (IRE)
