      In depth

      Verdict

      Um Shama faces tougher opposition after landing a seller at Lingfield while Xtara's earlier success came over 6f in novice company at Carlisle. Love Kisses gets first-time blinkers after returning a losing joint-favourite at Wolverhampton while Curfewed and Lethal Guest have plenty to prove in handicaps on recent form. BATTLE OF WILLS makes his handicap debut and, with improvement expected, James Tate's colt gets the vote to open his account.
