In depth

Verdict

Sean Tarry had a few good chances on today’s card and sets a poser in this finale, saddling a trio of runners. Jockey bookings appear to point to River Jordan, a consistent sort but one who often finds one too good, ahead of Meeraas. There are viable alternatives further down the weights, however, including Ideal Wolff and True Words. APOLLO ROBINS was all out to land his maiden over track and trip in January but that was a massive improvement on his first run and he appears to be learning with experience. Jagesa Jagesa looks best of the rest ahead of Sell High.
