In depth

Verdict

It could pay to stick with NEW YEAR'S NIGHT in this. He beat little to land the odds at Wolverhampton in a maiden contest but did so by eight lengths and Kevin Stott's 3lb allowance makes his job that much easier on his handicap debut. Loyalty ended a barren spell when picking-up a race at Lingfield last time and is only 2lb higher while Gracious George steps up a grade having beaten Embankment and Presumido over track and trip recently. Rizal Park never looked like landing a hat-trick at Chelmsford last month and the less exposed Alketios is preferred on his debut for a new yard.
