In depth
Verdict
Acquisitor landed a double over 7f at Catterick with his latest success and makes a quick reappearance under a penalty. Sucellus carries 5lb extra for scoring at Haydock while Sophie Smith steered Zlatan home in one of these vents at Sandown a week ago. But PRAXEOLOGY won over a slightly shorter trip at the track last time and should make another bold bid racing off a similar mark. Garden Oasis and Fieldsman won their penultimate starts and the latter has won under today’s amateur in the past.
