In depth
Verdict
Luscifer finished second to The Eagle’s Nest over a mile here last month and THE RETRIEVER was beaten a head by the same horse over track and trip last week. Micky Hammond’s charge comes out best on collateral form and looks the one to side with. Kempton winner My Law debuts on the Fibresand on only his second outing for Mick Appleby and is preferred to stablemate Casaruan but Caesonia’s earlier second here came in a classified contest. Ishebayorgrey is back on a winning mark if taking to the surface.
