Verdict

RAPPER'S DELIGHT (4) is a progressive four-year-old gelding who resumes from a break of four-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 5f at Southwell All Weather at his only run of that campaign. He is a progressive type making his local debut, and top trainer Richard Spencer will have him ready to run a big race. ARABIAN ANGEL (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 6f at Sharjah, scoring by 7 lengths. This is a step up in class, but a repeat of that last start effort would have him in the top 4 here. RESERVARDO (6) returns from a spell of five months and won first-up last time in work over 5f at Catterick. His stable has a good local record, and this gelding will be hard to hold out. TOURIST (10) lines up on the back of a sound fourth over 6f here on the dirt. All of his wins have been on turf, and he has solid each-way claims again.
