      In depth

      Verdict

      It's Good To Laugh has been raised 4lb for finishing runner-up at Newmarket in October having earlier finished well behind runner-up Man Of The Night over a mile here. The latter signed off with a below par effort last year while Tell Me All struggled in a Group 3 in soft ground at Headquarters last time having won a handicap at Ayr before that. Maiden winner Gold Souk should appreciate today’s longer trip but the same comment also applies to MORISCO, who defied a penalty to win a novices' race at Ayr in September and makes his handicap debut having been gelded since.
