Verdict

Several won their latest starts though Captain Pugwash hasn’t raced since April of last year and has switched yards since. Blue Collar Lad scored at Lingfield earlier in the month and can figure again but VITESSE DU SON was successful over track and trip and can effectively race off a lower mark with today’s apprentice claiming 8lb. Eagle Eyed Freddie placed yet again when runner-up at Southwell with Johnny Boom preferred of the rest.
