Verdict
HOWZAK has improved for going handicapping and made every yard at Chelmsford last week to win by three lengths. Another bold bid is expected from Robyn Brisland’s charge despite carrying a penalty. Hope Springs also posted a better effort on her handicap debut when third over track and trip ahead of both Arzaak and Lady Susie while Thegreyvtrain goes well here and Koropick is fitted with a visor.
