Verdict

Bold Decision and Daafy finished second at Southwell on their respective latest starts and the latter has the more scope. Sharrabang landed a lowly classified race here last week and is penalised while One One Seven finished a close-up fourth at the same fixture. Gonzaga finished in front of Lady Fatma when runner-up over track and trip and is still looking for his first win but BILLYOAKES won a division of this contest last year and gets another chance racing off a 4lb lower mark today with George Rooke’s allowance further helping his cause.
