      In depth

      Verdict

      El Hombre has been in the mix over 6f lately but Outrage has been threatening to score over today’s distance and makes more appeal. Heer We Go Again scored at Wolverhampton recently but is upped in class and raised 5lb while Birkenhead’s best recent form has been on the Fibresand at Southwell. MONDAMMEJ went close again over 6f here in novice company carrying a penalty for an earlier debut success and Antony Brittain’s headstrong charge should be suited by this shorter trip and settle better with a hood applied as he goes handicapping for the first time.
