        In depth

        Verdict

        BOYCIE has been competing at a much higher level and won at Sandown the last time he appeared in this grade so could be good enough to concede the weight. Archipeligo has scored here and won on Tapeta at Newcastle in July but hasn't been in the best of form subsequently though has the cheekpieces back on. Jack Of Diamonds won a lower-class handicap here in September but is up 4lb and was beaten in this grade last time. Pink Ribbon had dropped to a lowly mark at Lingfield last month but couldn't quite take advantage and is back up 2lb while Tigerwolf is tackling a new trip on his debut for the yard. Berlusca has a course and distance victory to his credit though will need to step up on recent form
