      In depth

      Verdict

      Macaabra takes a big step up in class under a penalty for last week's victory over track and trip and Jonnie Skull was unable to follow up a win at Yarmouth off a higher mark last time. Take A Note is not without a chance on form but hasn't raced since September and Good Luck Charm makes more appeal after a recent close-up fourth at Lingfield. Jeremy Noseda boasts an outstanding strike rate at the track especially with three-year-olds and EXCUSE TO LINGER looks capable of adding to that tally with William Buick on board after a second at Warwick last month.
