Verdict

A couple of these won novice races on their reappearance and go handicapping for the first time. Headingley made all at Redcar and another bold bid from the front is expected but TASFEEQ won nicely at Bath a fortnight ago and Marcus Tregoning’s colt may just edge this. Freak Out has a shout having gone close at Redcar on his return while Clarendon Cross will find this easier than the handicap she contested at Newbury recently. Marsabit returns to action 6lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in November.
