Verdict
Open Mind has been thereabouts in handicaps since winning a maiden race here but needs to dig a bit deeper off his current mark and APHELIOS is preferred. The latter made a winning debut in handicaps when scoring at Windsor and has joined Mick Appleby’s yard after finishing runner-up last time. Lil Guff won her only previous start on the all-weather and is preferred to Beauzon of the rest.
