Verdict

FANGHORN went close at Doncaster last month and may finally win a handicap off his current mark. Headora drops down in trip having won at Wolverhampton in March but Victorious Night landed a maiden over today’s distance last season and slips further down the weights. Crystal Casque won off a higher mark on the all-weather last summer though last scored on Turf back in 2019.
