Verdict

He was last seen in the winners enclosure when taking a Sandown handicap last year, and the return to that grade (Class 3) should see Ibraz improve upon what he has achieved in two runs so far this season. This is Ulshaw Bridge's level and he can improve upon his comeback effort at York to be much more competitive this evening, but he will do repel the late challenge of LUSH LIFE who scored under a typical Jamie Spencer ride at Sandown last time. Although she is 3lb higher for that victory, she was value for a lot more than the winning margin of a neck suggests. With similar tactics employed again this evening, she can make the long trip up from Lambourn worthwhile.
  1. Lush Life
