Verdict
Another hard race to solve with plenty of unexposed handicappers on view. Let Me Try Again confirmed earlier promise when a convincing maiden winner over this trip at Lingfield in February. The son of Sadler's Wells is entitled to progress further and should give another good account despite having to concede weight all round. Makulu has enjoyed a profitable campaign on the all-weather this winter with three wins including a competitive handicap at Lingfield last month. However, Brian Meehan's charge was a big disappointment on his return to turf last time and is probably best watched at present. Field Spark showed a willing attitude to land a Catterick handicap last month and is just 2lb higher while Far Storm can confirm last month's Southwell placings with Geography and has place claims under Pat Eddery.
