In depth
Verdict
Glen Force was placed at Haydock when sent off favourite on his comeback while Karibana found only one too good at Kempton last time. Spreadsheet ran well at Chelmsford when last in action and has undergone wind surgery subsequently but it could pay to stick with INHALATION. The latter has been raised 8lb for winning at Yarmouth on his handicap debut but returned a clear winner and Oisin Murphy’s presence suggests there’s plenty more to come. Stoweman and Mr Jones And Me should be winning handicaps before long though both have been absent since last year.
