Verdict
None of these arrive in good form but SEA’S ARIA was placed at Fontwell on a couple of occasions before a below par effort at Worcester and Mark Hoad’s charge gets another chance today competing off a similar mark. Inspireus slips further down the weights after posting another modest effort at Newton Abbot this time while Dowhatudodobest may do better now handicapping for the first time but it’s difficult to make case for any of the remainder.
