In depth

Verdict

WILLYORWON’T HE was beaten less than a length in Class 3 company at Doncaster. Gelded since and with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back, he should be bang there at the finish. L'operateur placed at Windsor on his handicap debut but Athers was well beaten over 1m2f and drops down in trip. Ivynator finished closer back over today’s distance at Lingfield while both Natural Value and Muhalhel may improve now handicapping.
