Race Verdict

Some unexposed ones of interest here include handicap debutantes Operatic Artist and Moonlit Mist, while Semantics should run well at the trip with blinkers tried. The preference is for the more tried and trusted YOKELL who returned in good form in a 1m handicap here last month. [Justin O’Hanlon] Source: Racing Post
