Verdict
Scampi comes out best at the weights on his reappearance though is one of the more exposed along with Bakersboy, who was due to race at Wolverhampton yesterday. Bumper winner ALAZWAR had enough pace to win over a shorter trip than this at Wolverhampton on last month’s debut under this code and, with further progress likely, gets the vote to defy a penalty. Mutalaaqy showed some promise on last year’s debut and is preferred to Vignon of the rest.
