Verdict
Adrrastos jumped well at Fontwell but is closely matched with I'dliketheoption on that run. Ink Master represents a yard in form and he won under today’s pilot at Newton Abbot. He has won off this higher mark but that was over two years ago. Regulation has won a couple of novice handicaps this year, including one here, but may get found out in this grade. DANDRIDGE (NAP) is back on a winning mark and has been showing signs of a resurgence since joining Charlie Longsdon – this looks a good opportunity to end his losing run.
