      In depth

      Verdict

      Hammer Gun has been back to something like his old self here recently though is penalised and upped in class after completing a course and distance double. Showboating just missed out on a hat-trick of course wins on his latest start but WELD AL EMARAT (NAP) beat Space Bandit to win a Class 2 contest over 7f here last month with Mister Music further behind and Mick Easterby’s charge is fancied to continue winning ways given he also scored over track and trip back in November. Zylan won here last month but over 6f and has been beaten off higher marks in both subsequent outings.
