In depth
Verdict
Enderman won over 6f at Redcar back in September and returns to action 4lb higher. ARIEL hasn’t raced since February when finishing third to higher rated rivals than these in novice company at Newcastle. Charlie Hills’ charge can take this on his handicap debut now gelded. Sense Of Romance has shown little improvement in handicaps but Dark Esteem went close over a longer trip on the all-weather last time. Prospect steps up from 5f and an apprentice takes 5lb off George Scott’s back on his reappearance.
