Race preview
This looks a very competitive handicap, where a chance can be taken on MEXICO, who makes his handicap debut after contesting a Grade 2 last time. Based on his Southwell win two starts ago, a mark of 125 could prove to be manageable. Marsh Wren is another to consider, as he has only been raised 1lb for his win at Exeter last month. Others to note are Up For Parol and Fingal's Hill, who won when last seen at Newcastle.
