Verdict
SAMBEZI has come down the weights and David Bass should provide stronger handling tonight. College Oak hasn’t raced on very quick ground for some time though did seem to handle it earlier in his career. Connections of Hello Bob have had to be patient having waited since November 2020 for a chance to follow up a promising effort at Doncaster. Neachells Bridge has had issues in the past but the handicapper has given him a chance this evening.
