In depth

Verdict

Several of these can be given a chance. Straightothepoint won over 6f at Leicester last month and Savannah Beau arrives on the back of a victory in a lower grade sprint at Newcastle. Stanghow went close to landing a hat-trick when runner-up at Redcar and beat Uptight at Nottingham earlier but dual Catterick winner Landing Night is upped a further 2lb after a fourth at Haydock. HANDSOME DUDE (NAP) is one of the least exposed and has been competing in Class 3 contests since winning a maiden race at York. Dropped in class with Ron Hornby's 5lb allowance helping his cause, he gets the vote.
