Verdict
Florencio is penalised for winning at Southwell just two days ago while Inexes scored in testing going at Pontefract last time. Johnny Cavagin went close at the same meeting at Pontefract while Summerghand was narrowly beaten at Kempton last time and Bahamian Dollar was placed in this grade at Windsor and is back on a winning mark. But NEZAR gets a speculative vote in an open contest for Dean Ivory’s in-form yard having missed out by only a neck at Goodwood last month.
