In depth

Verdict

Andy Turnell's Marching Song may do better now sent handicapping for the first time but he has plenty of weight for what he has achieved so looks best watched and of more interest may be Higgy's Ragazzo, who represents the in-form yard of Richard Hannon and showed improved form when chasing home Shy at Salisbury last month. Starry Mount cannot be discounted for Andy Haynes having run better than expected behind High Resolution at Hamilton recently, while James Toller's At Wits End has run consistently well in three outings in handicaps since winning his maiden at Wolverhampton in October but he looks a shade high in the weights and preference is for BEAUCHAMP DUBAI. Henry Candy's filly has shown progressive form of late, running a decent close third behind Choral Festival over course and distance last month, and she can open her account today.
