      Verdict

      COLONEL WHITEHEAD failed to see out the 6f trip at Newmarket when well beaten in third but had finished a lot closer when placed over today’s minimum trip at Sandown earlier. He looks to have decent claims in this with both main rivals penalised for winning. Too Hard To Hold was successful at Musselburgh earlier but has been beaten over track and trip subsequently while Mr Duepearl made a winning start at Nottingham in July though the form hasn’t worked out. The remaining trio have shown little so far and are hard to recommend.
