In depth
Verdict
Most can be given a chance including NOBLE LINEAGE, who beat a horse rated 80 when winning a novice event over a shorter trip here - that looks stronger form than Gold Bere’s earlier success at Lingfield. The latter wasn’t beaten far on his handicap debut and headgear is applied today while Copper Rose found only an odds-on favourite too good at Chelmsford last time and Agent Basterfield was narrowly beaten at the same track just four days ago and is preferred to Fox Kasper. Ballylemon and Fares Alpha return to action and are not out of this either as both go handicapping for the first time.
