    Verdict

    FOR PLEASURE is difficult to oppose. He opened his account when returning an easy winner at Fakenham on his debut for Olly Murphy and can defy a 7lb penalty given he’s won off much higher marks in the past. Sambezi also won easily at Worcester on his latest start but that was back in May and he’s 9lb higher today while Nashville Nipper has been off the track since March last year and has no easy task on his return.
