        Verdict

        The luckless Captain Bob found one too good again at Southwell last time and his losing run now stretches back over 28 races. Out Of The Ashes finished just ahead of Rockley Point at Yarmouth but the form is nothing special. East Coast Lady hasn’t won on Turf since 2014 which seems to leave the way clear for ANCIENT ASTRONAUT (NAP) to follow up his Thirsk win under the experienced David Egan.
