In depth

Verdict

Resilient Power opened his account with a victory over 7f at Wolverhampton and is raised 4lb while Impulsive Lady and Baccarat Baby also step up in distance for their handicap debuts. But STAR CHILD goes handicapping for the first time on the back of a length defeat over today’s trip at Lingfield and Archie Watson’s filly may prove the one to side with in what looks a less competitive contest.
