In depth
Verdict
Becker has had five starts over today’s trip but has done all his winning so far over 5f and the veteran Pettochside is preferred having gone close at Kempton last time. Soldier's Son has yet to win but was placed at Salisbury when last in action but Madrinho hasn’t won for nearly two years now and stablemate Urban Highway is 5lb higher than when successful at Brighton in September. EQUIPPED has been raised 3lb for winning over track and trip in February but that was her handicap debut and, with plenty more to come, she gets the vote on her return. Englishman is capable at this level though was due to run here yesterday.
