Verdict
CABERNET D’ALENE (NAP) is in the midst of a terrific run of form. He’s won three of his last four and may be worth sticking with despite a further 10lb rise for an effortless victory at Market Rasen in January. Waiheke looks the danger running in his first handicap. He kept on for pressure over a shorter trip last time at Exeter but has done most of his racing at the west country track so far. Canyon City is also making his handicap debut but needs to improve on recent efforts and Battle Of Ideas has also been out of sorts since scoring at Plumpton in December.
