        In depth

        Verdict

        Bahango is upped in class after winning over track and trip and collateral form also gives him something to find with FREDRICKA. The latter was only beaten a head over course and distance last time, when ahead of Foxy Forever, and David Barron’s mare looks set to take advantage of a tumble down the weights. Rich Again is another recent winner at the track but is upped 4lb while though Aprovado also won here when last seen in action, that was in September. One Boy made a successful trip over to Ireland in October when winning at Navan but has his first start since.
