9/2

Fairly useful maiden. 33/1, all the better for return/yard debut when very good third of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, having to weave through. Not taken lightly.

LAASUDOOD was beaten only by a smart prospect in a strong-looking novice at Nottingham on his return/yard debut 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer now handicapping. He gets the vote over the thriving Roxzoff, who recorded his fourth win of the year at Sandown last month.
