Verdict

Andrew Balding had a chance in the earlier division of this and his VERNE CASTLE should also be thereabouts having gone close at Lingfield on last month’s return to action. Papa Luigi was placed on several occasions last year and is 3lb lower on his reappearance while Born To Finish has been placed in both starts so far this year and can race off the same mark as when third at Brighton recently. Equinette ran well at Kempton in September in between a couple of modest efforts and Equistar had bits of form last year that could see him figure.
