Verdict

Azrael has failed to figure since scoring at Yarmouth, although winning partner Ryan Moore is back on board today. West End Lad has also gone off the boil after scoring over track and trip last month but Classic Colori has been running well in claimers and had Prime Exhibit behind when winning at Wolverhampton last month. PRAVDA STREET was only beaten a length in a handicap at Hamilton last time and gets the vote back in plating company having won a couple of claimers on the all-weather last year.
