Verdict
Four recent winners line up for this including Second Serve and Shoofly, who won maiden races on the all-weather recently. Nietzsche landed a double with a victory at Beverley and is upped 9lb while PROJECT BLUEBOOK also bids for a hat-trick after scoring on the East Yorkshire track. John Quinn’s charge is 4lb higher today but has plenty of scope for further progress and the same can be said of West Drive. The latter makes his handicap debut having gone close at Nottingham in November and Stetchworth Park is a similar type also handicapping for the first time today.
