In depth

Verdict

A non-runner on account of soft ground at Yarmouth on Monday, ANTONIAN makes his handicap debut after finishing second over 1m4f at Lingfield recently. He looks like notching-up another winner for the Gosden yard over this longer trip. Yabass won at Ripon a fortnight ago and is up 5lb while Austrian School was successful in novice company at Pontefract in October and Blame Me Forever won over a similar trip here last month but is raised in class. Jeremiah was well beaten in a maiden on his return but may do better now handicapping.
