In depth

Verdict

INGLEBY HOLLOW has been running well in some hot handicaps since scoring at Doncaster in the autumn. He is weighted to reverse Haydock running last month with Castel Gandolfo and has since run a cracker in the Swinton Hurdle. Newtown Boy hasn’t raced since fourth in this last year but The Navigator arrives in cracking form as he’s won on the Flat since victories at Musselburgh and Sedgefield. Gaelik Coast races off a lower mark than over fences and Rich Belief holds even stronger claims on his second in a Grade B handicap at Killarney two weeks ago
