In depth
Verdict
ABEL HANDY might be tough to beat in this as he ran a fine race under a penalty in a Class 3 at York having made a winning debut at Nottingham – he has a decent draw here. Bow Belles was a soft-ground winner at Ripon last month so warrants respect and the previous winners make more appeal than the others with experience including Rossall, though Michael Dods’ charge will be one to watch when tackling nurseries. Fiere Imsaho may be the pick of the newcomers.
