Verdict

A big-field handicap to end the card although those that could be said to be ahead of the handicapper are few and far between. One who may well be is TEGEREK who produced some solid efforts in his qualifying runs before building on those in his first handicap. With that experience behind him and with this new trip looking to suit he’s taken to defeat Liosduin Bhearna the recent Ayr scorer, he may just need 3m to score again. Any further rain would suit heavy-ground Fontwell scorer Acaro with Yorgonnahearmeroar from the in-form Oliver stable respected despite his recent disappointing chase runs. Sizing At Midnight and Voodoo Doll are two others to note.
  1. Tegerek
  2. Liosduin Bhearna
  3. Yorgonnahearmeroar
