Verdict
All of these have a handicap rating and are separated by only 2lb. But WILD HERO wasn’t beaten far over today’s trip at Newmarket on his reappearance and that looks stronger handicap form than My Friend Stan and Rebel Soldier Boy’s recent efforts. Raajin went close over a mile in a maiden at Lingfield and is preferred to novice fourth Millicent while Northern Hope was due to run at Ayr yesterday.
