    Verdict

    John Wainwright’s pair, Zarkavon and Rosie Hall, are facing an impossible task at the weights and Henpecked is also racing from out of the handicap despite a recent course and distance victory. TIME TO BLOSSOM is having her first run on the surface and eased in trip but she’s won on Polytrack and was successful over this distance on good to firm ground at Redcar last August so shouldn’t be inconvenienced. The top weight is preferred to lightly-raced course winner Eyes On Asha and Wolverhampton third Mystikana.
