        Verdict

        Longsider is upped in distance on his debut for Sir Mark Prescott’s yard but is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton just over a year ago. Deluxe Music has switched yards since scoring in Germany in October and also carries a penalty along with ALPHA THETA. The latter made a winning debut when scoring easily over course and distance last month and Mark Johnston’s filly looks the one to beat. The useful Talkischeap has won five times over jumps and debuts on the Flat. He’s preferred to stablemate Lunar Bounty and Diamond Gait while Soros is a newcomer to note.
