In depth

Verdict

A couple of these arrive unbeaten and make their handicap debuts. Kerdos was last successful at Windsor in October while ZOUKY landed a double with a victory at Haydock in September. The latter had a couple of subsequent winners behind on that occasion and may prove the one to side with. Democracy Dilemma won at Wolverhampton when dropped down to the minimum trip while Conquistador landed a novices races at the same track on Boxing Day. Knebworth is 7lb higher than when last winning and has been subsequently gelded.
