In depth
Verdict
Another low grade contest with no recent winning form to assess. Mr Mac and Madam Prancealot are the only ones to have hit the frame on their most recent outing and are preferred in that order as the former arguably has more scope for improvement. Both look vulnerable though and TAKE A TURN is a hopeful suggestion to make his first handicap appearance a winning one. He was brought along very steadily by David Lanigan at the back-end of his juvenile campaign and showed definite signs of ability the last twice with midfield finishes in maiden company at Kempton. He looks the sort to improve at three with the step up to 1m2f expected to suit. Epicurious is another possible improver for the Meehan team on handicap bow.
