Southwell Race 2 - 30 In Free Bets With Betuk Novice Stakes (Rider Restricted Race) (Div 1)
JAVA RAJA (1) broke his maiden by 5.5L at Wolverhampton over this distance. Represents a respected yard and returns after a 67-day break. Leading contender. SUGAR ROAD (7) makes AW debut following three runs on turf. Reappears from a 182 day layoff. Finished fourth behind a talented subsequent winner. Respect. FOXLIGHT (3) arrives in this sphere for the first time having won sole attempt in a jumpers flat event. Looks one to note. AGATHON (2) makes first outing for a new yard. Interesting.
