Verdict

There are several recent winners in this and Fantasy Justifier did well to score over 6f here a week ago considering he was hampered leaving the stalls. He does have a 4lb penalty whereas Bounty Pursuit escapes a penalty for an easy victory at Salisbury in an apprentices’ race and Marco Ghiani takes off 7lb. ANOTHER BOY won the other division of the same apprentices’ handicap in similar fashion and is on a very lenient mark at present. Cooperess has each-way claims again with Gary Moore’s pair Chikoko Trail and Master Poet possibly best of the rest.
