Verdict

A four-runner maiden handicap for inexperienced riders is not the perfect start for punters. Olivia Tubb is having just her fourth ride on Silverdale but Duelist looks to have every chance at the weights. Conor Planas has been among the winners lately and can steer the least-exposed ROGUE ROCKET to a first success ahead of the frustrating Lumley.
