In depth
Verdict
El Borracho was well beaten off today’s mark last week having won at Windsor earlier but Ashazuri managed to place over 1m2f here on the back of winning over a shorter trip at Sandown. PEACE PREVAILS is upped in class attempting to follow up a recent course and distance victory. But she won by three lengths on that occasion having tumbled down the weights and there should be more to come from Jim Boyle’s filly this year. The remaining pair, Jawshan and Jumping Jack, arrive in woeful form.
