In depth

Verdict

The Warrior was upped in class last time having won at Kempton before that and should finish closer back in this grade. Bouclier has done all his winning so far over shorter trips including a success over 6f at Kempton last month while Golden Wedding finished ahead of Dream Of Summer when fifth here back in November. SHARGIAH also returns to action having won a maiden at Ripon last summer. Gelded since then, he’ll likely prove popular for Roger Varian’s powerful yard on his handicap debut.
