        Verdict

        Duelist was well beaten on a previous run in a handicap while John O'Groats and Total Lockdown also came up short on their handicap debuts. Several go handicapping for the first time including the returning pair It Is Now and Royal Rift but GIVE A LITTLE BACK has a recent run under his belt when third at Wolverhampton on his debut for a new yard. This extra distance looks sure to suit and he gets the vote with his stable in good form.
