In depth
Verdict
Vespasian won at Newcastle on his handicap bow while Form Of Praise scored over 7f at Dundalk recently. Resilience won over the minimum trip at Kempton while both Al Ameen and Clase Azul Ultra ran well on their recent handicap debuts. Several go handicapping for the first time including Aasser and Fly To Glory but ZAMEKA made most of the running when landing the odds over a longer trip in novice company at Wolverhampton and Roger Varian’s charge may prove the one to side with. Leap Abroad and Red Showgirl are not out of this either.
