Verdict

AVARICE finally came good on the all-weather when scoring over 1m4f at Wolverhampton having tumbled down the weights. He’s taken to reverse earlier running here with the winner Largo Bay, who has been beaten in both subsequent starts. Ray's The One has won over hurdles since scoring over track and trip at the end of last year while Artemis Sky and Aurora Star make their seasonal debuts with the latter handicapping for the first time.
