Nothing really leaps off the page in a weak handicap with the going a concern for Voi. It was soft ground when Maykir was only beaten half-a-length at Brighton but that was over a mile. Mystic Dragon is a previous course winner but GUSTAVE AITCH hasn’t raced on Turf since his debut in 2019. However, he’s placed a couple of times recently on Tapeta, form which may be good enough to win a race like this.
