Verdict
Dirty Rascal drops down in trip bidding for a hat-trick under a double penalty while King's Lynn races over the minimum trip for the first time on his return to action. Garrus makes his handicap debut having beaten Blue De Vega in a conditions race at Wolverhampton but the latter was also beaten by TIS MARVELLOUS (NAP) at Leicester in September. Clive Cox’ charge has won a handicap off today’s mark before and gets the vote with a recent outing under his belt and Ryan Moore taking over the reins. Came From The Dark ran well for third in a decent sprint at Musselburgh but Ivatheengine is another dropping back down in trip, though is preferred to Southwell specialist Mulzim.
