Verdict
FIRST SARGEANT ended last season with a win in soft going at Windsor. A runner-up off today's mark at Doncaster on his return, Gary Mahon's 7lb allowance could make the difference today. He looked to have a good chance here yesterday in an apprentice handicap and wouldn't receive a penalty if successful. Magnolia Ridge posted a better effort at Leicester recently and it was testing ground when he won last year while Card High may also figure now 3lb higher than when landing a double with a win at Nottingham in October. Indian Giver went close over a mile on his penultimate start but King Of Paradise has done all his winning so far at Hamilton.
