In depth
Verdict
BASHFUL BOY is due to be raised by more than today’s 4lb penalty having scored easily over track and trip last week. Kempton winner Wannabe Brave could only manage fourth off today’s mark last time but Mukha Magic is back on the same mark as when winning here in January. Carzola is the least exposed stepping up in trip after going close over 1m5f here on her handicap debut.
