In depth

Verdict

SIGNED SEALED has been given a handicap rating of 84 after finishing runner up over today's trip at Nottingham and that should be good enough to land this. He has a couple of pounds to spare over the filly Markabah, second over a mile at Thirsk on her latest start, and is 7lb well in with Kempton runner up Every Instinct. St Patrick's Day made the frame at Naas for Ballydoyle last year and has his first start for new connections and the newcomer Galley Proof is related to five winners and worth a second glance.
