Verdict
CARROTHERS is penalised for winning over 7f here in December but a couple of winners have come out the race and this return to a mile will also suit David Simcock’s colt. Discomatic debuts on the Fibresand for a yard with a good record here and is preferred to Polar Ice and Adjourned while Beyond Infinity’s dam won on the Fibresand but is conceding plenty of weight to the younger newcomers Drag Race and Pride Day.
