In depth
Verdict
Spirited Guest won a handicap over the minimum trip at Chelmsford with Joegogo back in fourth and is only 3lb higher for this. But MOHAREB made all over today’s trip at the same track on his latest start in novice company and the runner-up has since boosted the form. Mick Appleby’s charge looks worth sticking with now handicapping. Daring Venture looks no nearer winning and drops down in distance today while Sonja Henie looks high enough in the weights.
