Verdict

The William Haggas yard boasts an impressive strike rate at this venue and MOORBIK may find enough improvement to defy a penalty having won at Yarmouth on his reappearance. Arthur's Realm drops back down in distance but handles soft going and sets the standard with a mark of 81 while Night Terrors made a decent debut when fourth at Thirsk. Broomy Law returns to action having been gelded and may improve on last year’s form on his first start after a wind operation.
