In depth

Verdict

Fast Track found Listed company too much at Ayr in September but should win more races this year in handicaps. Southwell scorer Saakhen is unexposed while The Hooded Claw won nicely at Chester and may be capable of reversing earlier running at Ripon with New Bidder, despite re-opposing on worse terms. ROYAL WARRIOR probably didn't beat much at Brighton last month but had the proverbial ton in hand and is well worth a try in this higher grade. He can land an open-looking handicap, though this stiff track should suit Jaeger Train and Redcar winner Naggers is on an upward curve.
