In depth
Verdict
Mark Johnston looks to have found a chance for Xellance to gain a confidence booster. Currently struggling off a high handicap mark, he should be capable of gaining victory in claiming company. His chief danger on the ratings looks to be Royal Castle. Better known these days as a jumper, he returns from a long absence but was rated 83 in the past on the flat. Mary Reveley has a keen entry and Double Blade looks to be the pick of the three but will need to improve in order to take this prize.
