In depth

Verdict

Doug Watson runs two from the top of the handicap. Pop The Hood made a good start for the yard here in January but ran very poorly last time while Bawaasil, a winner at Bath for Owen Burrows in September, didn't run up to scratch at Jebel Ali last month though will have come on for the outing. Speedy Move has managed to win five races including a minor handicap here last month. He was receiving 4lb when beaten almost 3l by Pirate's Cove over 6f in January but can take his revenge over this extra furlong. This is the correct grade for ROY ORBISON, who comfortably landed a 1m handicap here in November and didn't run again until three weeks ago when looking just in need of the outing. He'll strip fitter here and Connor Beasley can steer him home.
