Verdict
CALLING THE WIND is the only one to have raced over this far when scoring over course and distance a week ago. He’s penalised for that success but drops down a couple of grades and Sir Mark Prescott’s charge is taken to go in again given today’s opposition looks distinctly modest. Moon King and Delectable were both making their handicap debuts and finished practically upsides at Nottingham recently without either bothering the winner while the more-exposed Jazz Hands was placed over a mile at Ayr on his latest start and the remainder are harder to recommend.
