        Verdict

        Blu Manruna, Raquel White and Wait For The Will make most appeal in this amateur riders' handicap to close the card, and narrow perference is for the last mentioned. The selection has twice won over this course and distance, and although he has been a little disappoinitng of late, he is capable of bouncing back and scoring at a price. He has also won for an amateur rider before and he is quite a straightforward ride. Blu Manruna ran well from out of the handicap here last time but he is unproven over this trip and for that reason we will oppose him. Raquel White went close at Wolverhampton last time but she had previously been well beaten behind our selection on the turf at Windsor. Apache Fort has a good jockey on board and may be able to bag a place, but we prefer the claims of Wait For The Will who looks the value call.
