Verdict
Show Me A Sunset won a novices race over the minimum trip earlier but was beaten back in a handicap last time but Phoenix Star has been in the mix since scoring over track and trip back in November off a 7lb lower mark. Steelriver has placed in plating races recently while Production returns to action with a chance but a speculative vote goes to LILKIAN. Back on a winning a mark having completed a hat-trick last season, he’s recently switched yards and may well get former leading Flat jockey Darryll Holland’s training career off to a winning start with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause.
