In depth
Verdict
MURDANOVA returned from a lay off with an improved effort over 5f here and may come out best in a tight contest now handicapping. But there are plenty of alternatives with Irish Eclare, Ginger Joe and Chempedak Bay other handicap debutants to consider while Le Manege Enchante finished a close up third at Nottingham last week and has a shout on that form. Boycie and Arizona Sunrise are more exposed but have the past form to also get involved.
