In depth
Verdict
Al Asef scored over track and trip back in May though had earlier finished third behind Sir Rodneyredblood when the latter won at Chelmsford. Puchita does all her winning at Southwell but Water Of Leith landed a double here at the end of last year and posted a better effort on the Turf last time. But ARAIFJAN (NAP) has been competing in tougher sprints than this and a repeat of his earlier second at Chelmsford should see Bob Cowell’s charge back to winning ways at this level.
