In depth

Verdict

Commander Miller came good in a Warwick maiden last month but has already been beaten off lower marks in handicaps. Kapitaliste’s 5lb rise for winning here two weeks ago is a concern but Philip Armson claims all of that back so Alex Dunn’s gelding is preferred to handicap debutant Zoran. PROFESSOR CALCULUS led over the last at Market Rasen last time, despite continually jumping left-handed. He should be happier on this track and, dropped a pound since, can open his account today.
