In depth
Verdict
Al Raqeeb made a winning debut at Lingfield but the the runner-up has let the form down since. He has some catching up to do with ASHAMALY, who landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Wolverhampton last time and looks the one to beat. Fortinbrass is struggling to make his mark in handicaps and Sherinn came up short on her handicap debut at Lingfield. Overrider landed a maiden in December but Black Dave makes more appeal as he beat Wotabooty, who runs in the previous race, before following up at Lingfield last time.
