Verdict

AVOCET has looked a much improved horse since moving to the yard of exciting trainer Olly Murphy, during which time he has been ridden by Adam Kirby in most of his races, who takes the ride today. He may have been denied a short odds last time out but that was still a fair effort and he deserves another chance here. Others to note include Riverside Bridge, who has been running fairly well in Southwell handicaps recently, and Air Ministry on his return to the Flat.
  1. Avocet
