      Verdict

      Veteran Tiquer won at Southwell in November but has struggled since. Brian Hughes had a handful of rides today for Alan King and THE UNIT has his ground. He’s not getting any younger and hasn’t won since 2018 but has been dropped a further pound since his latest third at Wincanton. Zalvados may need another run to put him straight and Wildfire Warrior is out of sorts but a visor might help Mulcahys Hill.
