In depth

Verdict

Valsad landed the odds in novice company at Lingfield and makes his handicap debut while Bizarre Law drops down in class but is upped in trip. Madame Ambassador still looks high enough in the weights but Last Ammo went close at Leicester back in April and can figure. NATHANAEL GREENE failed to get a clear run when sent off favourite at Musselburgh on his handicap bow and only finished fourth but the Haggas charge gets another chance racing off the same mark in this.
