In depth
Verdict
Dan Dee Prince won a lower grade nursery at Leicester last week and carries 6lb extra. Classy Clarets is preferred having gone close over track and trip last time while several make their handicap debuts including the latter’s stablemate Beechwood Star. I'm Puzzled and Tactical Control are others to note but EBT’S GUARD was beaten less than a length in novice company at Kempton last time and may prove the one to side with.
