Verdict
Fightwithme made a winning start in handicaps when scoring at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day despite his rider dropping his whip. Frankie Dettori takes over the reins today but AWEEDRAM also made a winning handicap debut when beating a subsequent winner at Newmarket last month with the re-opposing Gallic back in third. There looks more to come from Alan King’s charge and he gets the vote. Gallic wasn’t beaten that far and could figure again while King Ademar and Just The Man were placed at Nottingham and Newbury respectively on their latest starts and both go handicapping for the first time. I'm Available won at Nottingham last month but is upped in class under a penalty for this.
