      Verdict

      GHOST RIDER struggled in a Listed contest last time having landed a couple of novice races on the all-weather before that. But he debuts on Turf in a handicap and is preferred to stablemate State Of Bliss. Darvel also makes his handicap debut having raced in Pattern company last year while Longlai’s yard won this in 2019. Apres Dark drops down in trip after going close at Newcastle while Street Kid has only his second start for new connections and makes more appeal than Pockley.
