Verdict

EMMA ROX (12) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Last appeared when she scored by 1.3 metres over 1 ¹/16m at Melton. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Well-placed to open this campaign with a win. ODINS BLACK CROWS (1) was in the money three runs back, missed at his next start, then produced another sound effort at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 25 metres into third after being handy in the run. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. MISTER BOOMBASTIK (11) has a strong record here which is significant. Finished second over 1 5/16m at this track last time out. GUEST ARTIST (7) is worth some thought despite his last-start 11th over 1 ¹/16m at Melton on May 16.
