A combined total of 79 career starts so far, but not one of the 11 declared runners has managed to hit the target, so this race is effectively a maiden masquerading as a handicap. Global Wonder shaped with encouragement at Wolverhampton latest and is worth a try over a longer trip, whilst this could finally be the day for Odds On Oli. However such is the paucity of opposition, we'll aim a dart at a horse at a bigger price and hope to hit the bulls-eye. DROVER cost plenty, but could have more too offer on the back of three quick turf starts for a handicap mark in the summer of 2017. Gelded, wearing cheek-pieces on AW/Handicap debut, he has far less convictions than most.
