Verdict

RANSOM was turned over when favourite for his AW handicap debut 3 weeks ago but it wasn't a bad run and 1m looks sure to see him in a better light now switching to turf for the first time. Epic Endeavour did very well at the end of 2020 and will be a threat if primed for this return, while this is a little easier than the races History Writer has run in this season and he's a dual C&D winner.

  1. RANSOM

  3. HISTORY WRITER (IRE)
