In depth
Verdict
Handy Hollow usually needs a run and is still 5lb higher than when successful at Uttoxeter in September. Blackfyre may do better now handicapping but has yet to manage a place in any of his seven career starts. SHEILA’S FANCY scored at Fontwell in January and probably didn’t stay 3m at Newbury last time. Michael Attwater’s charge is no world-beater but this won’t take much winning. Ossie's Dancer doesn’t stand much racing but the veteran top weight would also have decent claims.
