Verdict

DOUBLE UP has failed to build on last year’s progressive form when he won three times, including victories over 5f here and a valuable handicap at Ascot, but it could be his turn today. Maarek is another without a win this year and it’s been some time since he last competed in a handicap while Mobsta makes his handicap debut having won twice over 6f this season, including a Group 2 sprint at the Curragh back in May. Perfect Pasture also won over 6f at the latter track during the summer but remains 8lb higher while Demora landed a Listed race at Bath over the minimum trip at the start of the season.
