Verdict

Kovera wasn’t beaten far in a first-time visor at Southwell, with Shaiyzar behind, but has gone up 4lb and the headgear would need to work a second time for him to get off the mark. A winner between the flags, connections have struggled to place THE OGLE GOGLE MAN under Rules so far but this looks a good opportunity for Charlie Mann’s charge. None of the others can be ignored in a modest heat.
