Verdict

Several make their handicap debuts including last month’s Kempton winner Radetsky Marsch. But the Crisfords’ yard has hit form recently and Newcastle runner-up LASER GUIDED may prove the one to side with. Mr Buster is upped in trip after going close in a maiden at Wolverhampton and In The Trenches is another stepping up in distance while Roaring Legend placed at Redcar on his handicap debut and is another with a shout in an open contest.
