DEFENCE MINISTER (16) improved among this handicap company when 0.5L second over 7f at Sandown. Rates highly. NATIVE WARRIOR (1) found success by 0.75L attempting a 7f handicap at Newcastle AW. Holds course place form. Ticks plenty of boxes. LEADMAN (13) is another last start winner securing a 0.5L victory tackling this handicap grade and trip at Newmarket. Makes appeal. CRACKING GOLD (3) looks one to note.
