        Verdict

        Ginger Fox made a winning start for David Loughnane when scoring over 6f at Kempton while Human Nature won over today’s trip at Chelmsford recently but is 5lb higher. Zafaranah was beaten only a neck off today’s mark at Lingfield last time while Jackstar finished closer at Kempton and is another to consider. But MERRICOURT won a maiden at Dundalk before separating higher-rated horses than these in a claimer at the same track and is fancied to make a bold bid on his first outing for Iain Jardine’s yard.
