    Verdict

    Strawbs made a winning debut when scoring over 6f here despite missing the break. But RAASEL has the best form of these having won at Bath and placed in a conditions race at Newmarket in 2019. He’s been gelded and switched to Mick Appleby’s yard subsequently and can make a winning reappearance. Show Me A Sunset and Kumasi share the same handicap rating though the former arrives in much better form and is fitted with a tongue-tie today but both Hyba and Jazz Music look up against it.
