        Verdict

        Top Offer keeps mainly to the all-weather nowadays and seems best on that surface. Emblaze recorded her only win so far at Southwell in February and remains 6lb higher while Yair Hill has won just the once since 2013 and that was over a year ago. But BAJAN REBEL landed an apprentices’ race at Catterick last week. She not only avoids a penalty in this but is slightly better off as she won from out of the handicap last time and Mick Easterby’s mare can take advantage and go in again.
