In depth
Verdict
Presidential won at Redcar last time but is 6lb higher today and Easy Tiger was placed in a higher grade over track and trip on his penultimate start and that looks stronger form than Welliesinthewater recorded here last time when beaten less than a length in third. Del Parco ran well at Goodwood only to return a losing favourite at Newmarket last time so a chance is taken on the unexposed BLIZZARD (NAP). Ralph Beckett’s filly failed to land a blow in Class 2 company at Headquarters on her handicap debut but will find this easier and won a novices 'race over today’s trip a Lingfield earlier.
