In depth
Verdict
Gary Moore’s yard is firing-in the winners and it could pay to stick with RAFIOT. He duly obliged when sent off favourite over track and trip last month and can effectively race off a lower mark with Rhys Clutterbuck claiming his full allowance on this occasion. Bashful Boy finished runner-up to the selection but disappointed at Wolverhampton subsequently while Fraser Island placed here in front of Nawar before struggling in a higher grade. Pledge Of Peace is unexposed and an outside draw didn’t help his cause last time while Percy Prosecco has been thereabouts in amateur races.
