Verdict

He wasn't beaten far in a higher grade contest at Lingfield last time despite finishing only sixth and gets a speculative vote. Stablemate Prying Pandora won her maiden over track and trip last year while Tripartite won a lower grade handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this year and is preferred to stable companion Major Crispies. He's My Cracker has gone close off similar marks before and Eqleem has joined David Evans having had just the three outings last term.
