In depth
Verdict
Riot returns to the all-weather fitted with headgear after disappointing at Newmarket but Lord Oberon is proving best at Southwell and completed a double at the latter track in February. Several return to the fray with a chance though it was testing going when Zip won at Doncaster in November and both Taawfan and Raatea won over a mile last year. MOLLS MEMORY has a recent good effort at Musselburgh under her belt and Ed Walker’s filly should soon be winning again off her current mark on that showing.
