        Verdict

        Beepeecee got his head in front at Wolverhampton in January on his first run after being gelded. He’ll be fancied to follow up here but has a 10lb higher mark to defy and the form has sent out mixed messages. Topmeup is not really improving and Sheila's Palace has also had plenty of chances but CAPTAIN SEDGWICK could be interesting making his handicap debut after only four runs - the booking of Luke Morris is definitely a positive. Gala Celebration is making his all-weather debut and running for the first time since October so is probably having a pipe-opener before returning to the Turf.
