Verdict

MADE FOR YOU is probably the one to be on in a modest heat. Olly Murphy’s gelding was showing promise in similar races last summer and can only improve on a recent comeback fifth at Warwick, where he was too keen. Vino's Choice is another who will have benefited from a return to action and Numero Uno makes his handicap debut at a lowly level. Missesgeejay could be best of the rest in first-time cheekpieces.
