In depth
Verdict
SHARP OPERATOR arrives in the best form having scored at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to go in again with an apprentice’s allowance negating a 6lb penalty. Red Gunner has only won a maiden race in 23 starts but finished closer at Kempton recently while The Special One returns to a mile after better efforts over 7f. Mochalov has disappointed since going close at Kempton in December but both Gold Club and Misu Pete slide further down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
