Verdict
A weak contest but HOWZAK improved for the drop down to 6f when third here on his handicap debut and may show further progress over today’s minimum trip. Bluella looks to be treading water off her current mark while San Juan returns to today’s distance for the first time since scoring at Leicester in August. Jaffathegaffa was still beaten over six lengths when second at Brighton but Swell Song has placed recently, though is still looking for her first win after 24 attempts.
