In depth

Verdict

Most of theses are out of form including Irish raider Warp Factory, though he wasn't beaten far at Limerick and will enjoy the conditions better than most. Euchen Glen completed a double when landing a course and distance handicap last summer and is just 4lb higher though he needs to be forgiven two poor runs on Tapeta this year. The former Ireland-trained Pullman Brown has slipped to a winnable mark and ran better at Redcar last time but Spes Nostra has become something of a Wolverhampton specialist and it's two years since he won on Turf. EEZ EH is lightly-raced and has a bit more scope than most of these. He's 3lb higher than his victory at Carlisle in September but will have come on for last month's outing at Windsor and can double his winning tally.
