RACE SUMMARY

BASCINET proved better than ever to record a third success under this rider at Wolverhampton on Saturday so provided this doesn’t come too soon, he’s fancied to make light of a 5lb penalty and get the better of Anisoptera, who wasn’t seen to best effect over this C&D last month.

RACE STATS RACE SUMMARY

A likely match between IDEE FIXEE and Chantico.The former went for home a bit too early in a race run at a strong gallop on his handicap debut at Chelmsford on his most recent outing in December and winning a novice of this nature should be a formality on that evidence.
