In depth
Verdict
AFRICAN BEAT (NAP) won a maiden race at Wolverhampton last time and can improve further now handicapping. Poetic Force won a lower grade handicap at the same track recently but has been upped 9lb while Galahad was raised 6lb for a victory at Newcastle. Lord Clenaghcastle won his first two starts but an 8lb rise proved beyond him last time and Wordsearch looks a bigger danger after going close in a maiden race over track and trip. Habbad also makes his handicap debut and Darkroom Angel was not beaten far when fourth at Nottingham last time.
