Verdict
Medieval Bishop ended a long losing run with a victory over 1m4f in an amateurs race here but is up 8lb. Course regular Lacey is usually thereabouts without being good enough and Ballyfarsoon makes more appeal back on the all-weather after a poor effort at Nottingham. LOVING YOUR WORK (NAP) scored over 1m4f off a higher mark at Newbury last season and ran well at the same track on his recent reappearance. Placed at Lingfield in December, George Baker's charge may prove good enough dropped in class today.
