      Verdict

      Nothing got near ALJARI when the latter returned a wide-margin winner over today’s trip at Wolverhampton. Both placed horses have subsequently gone close in handicaps and Marco Botti’s colt can defy a penalty in this. Whisper Aloud is also penalised having made a winning start over 7f at Kempton back in March while Lucky Charm placed over the minimum trip at Sandown before struggling at Brighton. Annakonda makes no appeal but the newcomer Waffleton’s half-sister won on the all-weather.
