    Verdict

    GLOBAL ACADEMY found life tough over 6f in a Class 2 handicap last time but had earlier landed a double over the minimum trip. He’s penalised for those wins but Gay Kellaway’s charge is still weighted to get the better of Drakefell on today’s terms. The latter won a novices’ race at Lingfield earlier and should have the measure of the remaining pair with neither of them threatening on their respective debuts.
