        Verdict

        Most have shown their best form on the all-weather so far including DAN THE LIGHT. He’s won at Southwell and Wolverhampton since being gelded and should go close if carrying over that improvement to this surface. Havagomecca is a novice winner at Newcastle while Marve’s novice success came over 6f at Southwell. Big Thanks debuts on Turf for his first start handicapping while Harswell Prince scored at Hamilton last year and remains 4lb higher.
