Verdict
Stepped up in trip for his reappearance, EXEMPLARY ran out an easy winner over 2m at Wolverhampton beating Ethics Girl by six lengths. There should be more to come from Mark Johnston's charge over this trip and he's preferred to Muzo. The latter has also improved for longer distances and was a clear winner over C&D last time, but a 9lb rise in the weights and this step up in class may halt his progress. A penalty for last week's win at Lingfield looks likely to prevent Frameit from following up and Dalhaan struggled off a higher mark last time.
