In depth

Verdict

DUKE OF NORTH won at this venue last season and got his head back in front at Lingfield recently. He should make another bold bid in this. Black Caesar has won twice here in the past and scored a Lingfield at the start of the year. He can figure along with Jersey Breeze, who drops down in class for this. Essaka also goes well here and is back on the same mark as when winning over 6f at the track in October but Bingo George has yet to show any improvement for a tumble down the handicap.
