In depth

Verdict

Lyrical has won a handicap in soft going and Iron Heart is preferred on a recent second at Newmarket. The remainder make their handicap debuts though Overpriced Mixer hasn’t raced since October when winning over 7f at Kempton and Gentleman At Arms is preferred after landing a maiden at Lingfield by a neck. But WITHOUT A FIGHT scored more easily in novice company at Redcar when giving the impression this longer trip would suit and he gets vote to continue winning ways.
