      Verdict

      Carlos Felix finished runner-up in a lower grade contest at Southwell while Richard R H B finished just in front of AFKAAR (NAP) over track and trip last time. But given the latter was hampered early in the race and lost a shoe, he‘s fancied to reverse running in this on his second start after wind surgery. Running Cloud’s earlier win here came over 1m6f while Antonine Road makes his handicap bow having been gelded.
