In depth
Verdict
Just Bring It won a handicap at Kempton last month while Woodstock has landed a double on the all-weather and makes his handicap debut. Several have form on soft ground including Brighton winner Racingbreaks Ryder and 7f winner Serious Look while Spioradalta finished runner-up over the latter trip at Newmarket in October. But GOODFELLA also found one too good at Newbury with Supreme King behind and the latter gets the speculative vote in an open contest now handicapping.
