        In depth

        Verdict

        Go On Gal was still beaten seven lengths when second at Wolverhampton but should strip fitter today. Schoolboy Error has had plenty of chances but isn't getting much help from the handicapper while Big Shoes has struggled of higher marks since winning at Wolverhampton in February. Lingfield fourth Aksum still has some improving to do but Simply Clever must be thereabouts again if reproducing his last second over track and trip, though is 3lb higher. In a modest finale, we'll take a chance on handicap debutante NUTZMA as she did shown some ability in the autumn and this sort of trip should suit on breeding.
