Verdict
ROXYFET has been superbly placed by Micky Hammond and though having to carry a 7lb penalty for his victory here last weekend won again over fences at Catterick and still looks leniently treated. Lexi's Boy hasn't won since 2012 when he completed a four-timer, though he's been racing in better company, but the youngest member of the line-up, Deep Resolve, is fit from the all-weather and has won two of his five starts over timber. Away For Slates went up 6lb for his victory over 2m3f at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and has been unable to cope but Prince Khurram has a fine record on the track and will appreciate the drying ground more than most.
