Verdict

Ruler Of All finished tailed off on his chasing bow but should have learned from the experience. Andreo Bambaleo may also be capable of better but Nodforms Violet is probably best watched on his return to action having been pulled up when last seen at Musselburgh in December. Park Lane will be happier back over fences but this trip could prove a problem and Flinty Bay struggled to get home at Hexham last time, though it was heavy ground that day. I'VE BEEN FRAMED probably found the ground too quick when favourite at Fakenham last time. An earlier win at Uttoxeter and subsequent C&D second were decent efforts and he can recapture the winning thread in this.
