      Verdict

      Branscombe has won a couple of sprints but showed his first form over this longer trip when placed at Ayr just three days ago. He should be in the mix once again but TAKIAH is less exposed and after placing over today’s distance in novice company at Nottingham last time, she gets the nod on her handicap debut with an apprentice’s allowance helping her cause. Tally's Son won over a mile here on his reappearance and makes more appeal than Warofindependence.
