AROUSING escapes a penalty for last week’s victory over course and distance when landing an apprentices’ race. She won with a bit to spare and the Haggas filly can go in again. Mohareb has faced tougher tasks since winning at Southwell in January and is preferred in this lower grade to recent winner Tyger Bay, who landed a Class 5 sprint here. Good Humor drops down in trip and stablemate Puerto De Vega makes more appeal on last month’s success over today’s distance at Lingfield.
