      In depth

      Verdict

      Headshot won a handicap at Wolverhampton recently but is penalised back in novice company. GHUMAMA faded in the closing stages at Newcastle last time but was beaten only a short-head over 7f at Goodwood on her debut and gets another chance on that form. Stablemate Kings Prince is related to a Listed winner, as is fellow newcomer Regal Vega, but the latter’s stable companion Conquering Eagle has yet to figure. Spy Legend is a half-brother to several winners so is another to note.
