In depth
Verdict
ASHWAQ takes a further drop in class having also slipped 10lb down the handicap this year and the Hannon filly may finally win a handicap at this lowly level. Wild Flower landed a seller at Brighton last time and this isn’t much tougher while Higgy's Heartbeat could find enough improvement to get involved on his handicap debut. Billyoakes was winning off a higher mark here last year and Entertaining Ben was placed under today’s apprentice earlier in the season.
