In depth

Verdict

Excelling Oscar scored off a similar mark at Southwell in February but has done all his winning on that track so far. MISS EXCELLENCE may prove too good in this having posted a better effort at Lingfield last time and expected to improve now handicapping for the first time. Bailey's Pursuit won a seller at Yarmouth last term but has been beaten in handicaps subsequently while the remainder are harder to fancy unless Ocean Crystal improves for last year's tumble down the weights.
