3 beats 1 there at Ponty. July and Aug, back the topweights and lay the lightweights (no not you Lars/Salmon Spray).

I notice some have been given marks after just two runs, did they not stop doing that after c0vid, or is it a response to smaller foal crops?

Easy to be wise after the event but how Caturra Lights was assessed as topweight here is a mystery. Topweight in a nursery should 've been a shoo-in for the Nursery Theory but never looked likely.
