        chased leaders on outside, pushed along halfway, weakened over 1f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        Abel Handy has switched trainers and is looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights along with Boom The Groom. Zac Brown has his second outing after wind surgery and has the beating of Southwell specialist Red Stripes while Spirited Guest scored over track and trip in November and is 3lb higher. But a switch to the all-weather has brought improvement from TONE THE BARONE with Stuart Williams’ charge winning both starts so far over course and distance. He’s 5lb higher today but was good value for more than the official winning margin last time and another bold bid is expected.
