Verdict
Oisin Murphy returns to action with one ride at the meeting and JUPITER EXPRESS will likely prove a warm order. The latter won over 7f at Wolverhampton last month before finishing second over today’s trip. Muscika won at the latter track last week and escapes a penalty while Magical Max gets a change of headgear having ran well over track and trip behind El Hombre on his first start for a new yard. Thismydream won a novices race at Southwell recently while Bezzas Lad arrives in good form.
