Verdict

DEARKEITHANDKATY found only a similarly unexposed improver too strong on just his second start in handicaps at Carlisle in November and, with further progress distinctly possible now his stamina is tested further, he looks to hold sound claims. Irish raider Take Chance is an obvious danger with Brian Hughes an eye-catching booking. Lizzie Luna is another on the shortlist.
