In depth

Verdict

The progressive NORTONTHORPE BOY has now won four of only eight outings on the all-weather having shrugged off a 6lb rise to win cosily at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. The handicapper may not have caught up with him yet and he’s preferred to Ibn Arabi. The latter also won at Wolverhampton last time but that was over 6f in maiden company while Majestic Tejaan found one too good again on her latest start though is less exposed than Rohaan, who landed a hat-trick in December but looks high enough in the weights now.
