Verdict
Lucander made a winning start in handicaps when scoring at Doncaster BUT has been raised 5lb. DOGGED has gone up the same amount for scoring at Newmarket on his handicap bow. He finished well ahead of previous winner Love Destiny on that occasion and David Elsworth’s charge can confirm running in this. Convict is another to consider having landed a maiden at Redcar recently but Rich Belief came up short at this level last time. Breguet Boy is upped in class after winning at Redcar and The New Marwan makes most appeal of Richard Fahey’s three runners.
