Verdict

HOWZER BLACK scored over a shorter trip here recently but this extra distance is well within his compass. This doesn’t look a strong race and he can defy a penalty. Where's Jeff placed over 1m3f here last time as he looks to end a long losing run while Al Erayg will be hoping for more rain as it was soft going when he won at Redcar last season. A dual novice winner as a two-year-old, Dontaskmeagain has struggled since and it remains to be seen if he can rediscover his form this year.
