Verdict

MURPHILLY (12) gave a good account of himself at start thirteen when a slashing Maiden winner over this course and trip. Comes here in peak condition and Grant Buckley stays in the saddle. Go close. UPWARDLY MOBILE (5) scored a well-deserved victory when she launched late for a dominant win over 1m at Newcastle. Gets map favours with the rise in weight. Stays in the mix. CIGAR MAN (7) chipped away late on resumption when a handy fourth over 7f at Newcastle. Will keep improving as he gets out in trip and his lone win came second-up. LIBERTY PARK (2) handy gelding capable on his day. Returned over the unsuitable trip from the outside gate when a poor eleventh over 6 ½f at Rosehill in BM72 class. Has won second-up and will relish the claim and 1m. Keep safe.
