        Verdict

        Honiton hasn’t raced since disappointing at Ascot on last summer’s handicap debut whereas MAGHLAAK (NAP) defied a penalty when successful over track and trip in September. The latter makes his handicap bow and Charlie Hills’ charge has plenty of scope for further progress. Bad Company scored on soft ground at Epsom recently and is preferred to the returning Stay Well while Farasi Lane failed to get a clear run at Lingfield on his first outing over today’s trip and looks worth another try.
