Racecard | 16:00 Play Ladbrokes 5-A-Side On Football Nursery | Wolverhampton – Sky Sports
Verdict
Spirit Of Rowdown will need to improve further raised 6lb for winning at Chelmsford. ZOOLANDER is preferred as he left his earlier form behind when going close over track and trip on last week’s handicap debut. He can race off the same mark today and can confirm running with both Beechwood Emily and Desert Cat. Amal, Varenna Storm and Fast Emma all go handicapping for the first time and may finish closer as a consequence.
