In depth
Verdict
Rakematiz has held his form since scoring at Wolverhampton in September and got his head back in front over track and trip last month. Global Wonder wore down Narjes in the closing stages to win by a neck here more recently and that pair are hard to separate re-opposing on similar terms while the unexposed Royal Goldie is worth a second glance on her second start for a new yard having undergone wind surgery at the end of last year. BOBBY BISCUIT has yet to win a handicap but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and, after posting a better effort upped to 1m3f last time, Simon Dow’s colt may be worth siding with in the opener.
