    Race Analysis

    There could be more to come from the unexposed recent Wolverhampton maiden winner DOUBLE RUSH (12) who looked raw winning on seasonal reappearance sixteen days ago. Interesting that connections have pitched him into this making handicap debut. Consider. Charlie Appleby trains AL MISBAR (9) who might be suited by dropping to 6f and cannot be ignored on his first start since finishing a good second in a handicap over 7f here during October. THE DRAGON KING (5) won a track and trip handicap when last seen six and a half months ago. Remains unexposed. Handicap debutant DEFENCE MINISTER (2) is interesting down in grade having finished last of six attempting the G1 Middle Park Stakes here last season.
