Verdict
AZURE MIST can land this handicap at the main expense of Infinity Bond and Kargan. The selection is a likeable filly who showed some solid form last season and she wasn't beaten far on her seasonal reappearance at Pontefract in a race won by Swinbrook. She has conditions to suit today and as she is sure to come on for that run then she should take plenty of beating. Infinity Bond does boast course and distance winning form; in fact he has yet to run a bad race here and a reproduction of his latest run would certainly see him competitive. Kargan finished behind Infinity Bond last time and the fact that he has yet to win a race in 15 attempts hardly inspires confidence in his ability to end that sequence today. Tommy Tobougg has won over this course and distance and he could go well at a price, but this looks a good opportunity for Azure Mist who gets our vote.
