Verdict

Flora Tristan went close at Wolverhampton last time, with Turanga Leela and Juan Horsepower behind, and has every chance racing off the same mark today. Aguerooo has only won a claimer since 2016 but posted a better effort over track and trip last week while Billyoakes was narrowly beaten when last at this venue back in May. A winner in France, ZORAWAR made his debut for David O’Meara in August off a 15lb higher mark. He posted his best effort so far for current connections at Wolverhampton last week and may prove good enough at this lowly level.
