In depth
Verdict
HANDSOME RANSOM was fancied for his debut at Lingfield but found the favourite too good and can go one better in this. Stablemate Ghusoon makes her debut, along with the half-sister to Infatuate, Wijaya, but Southerly can boast nine winning relatives and makes most appeal of the newcomers. Sign Manual has yet to get involved but is still preferred to stable companion Black Motive while better is expected from Joe The Coat after his disappointing effort in soft ground at Windsor last week.
