Verdict

POSTSCRIPT wasn't disgraced when stepped up in class here last time, but this is more his grade and he's taken to add to last month's C&D victory. Wigram's Turn has come up just short off higher marks since winning over 7f here in December and I Confess also looks in the handicapper's grip and should do better when returned to claiming company. The Mongoose disappointed at Kempton last time after a good effort at this track, while Honey Of A Kitten is really struggling at present, but would have leading claims in this if bouncing back to form.
