In depth
Verdict
Few make any appeal and WOODERS DREAM can defy a penalty for winning one of these races at Wolverhampton on his first start for Mick Appleby’s yard. The veteran Shamshon has been in the mix lately and can figure again while Sirius White has been racing over further since narrowly beating Hachert over track and trip with Kaswarah further behind.
