        In depth

        Verdict

        Honey Gg has held her form well here over the winter and scored twice over track and trip in lower grade sprints. She’ll be in the mix once again while Global Melody beat Point Zero here in December and the latter went on to win over 6f at the track. But this looks a good chance for SAMOVAR as he was winning off a 6lb higher mark over course and distance last year and can drop down a grade today having slipped down the weights subsequently. Lydiate Lady is not badly treated on her best form and won her only previous outing on the Fibresand while the unexposed Ghost Buy goes handicapping for the first time and may improve.
