Verdict
The final event on the card is confined to apprentices and is not one to get too heavily involved in, although El Pedro, Anemos and Husky may make their presence felt, with Anemos taken to come out on top. At the age of eight, Paul D,Arcy's inmate cannot be open to any more improvement but was successful at Wolverhampton on only his second outing for the yard, having previously been with Michael Jarvis. The change of stables seems to have revitalised him and and another big run is on the cards, and as he was well punted for that all-weather win, any market moves here should be noted. Mick Channon's runner El Pedro has been knocking at the door but does have a very wide berth in 16, as does Husky in 14. Both should run well though, and can make Anemos fight all the way to the line.
