        Verdict

        MY TARGET beat Dougan over track and trip on Boxing Day and Michael Wigham's charge has every chance of going in again on that evidence. The latter went on to boost the form when narrowly beating the re-opposing Corporal Maddox at Lingfield with Kingscroft further behind. Supersta continues to improve, though his last four wins have all been over a mile and he's penalised for his recent success at Chelmsford while Lingfield winner Black Dave is upped in class and Fleckerl remains frustratingly inconsistent.
