In depth
Verdict
Atwaar landed a double back in November but finished behind Falcao when the latter was fourth at Southwell last week. Brockey Rise finished a couple of lengths behind BILLYOAKES at this venue before the latter went on to land an apprentices’ race here last time by a wide-margin. Ollie Pears’ charge escapes a penalty for that success and can go in again. Bold Decision debuts for Tony Carroll’s in-form yard on his reappearance and it would be no surprise to see him figure with Murqaab perhaps best of the remainder.
