In depth

Verdict

Linda Perratt's Casino Night is bound to be popular with backers following her win at Hamilton last week but she has a penalty to carry for that success and the third that day BOTHAM is now 8lb better in with her and can reverse the form. Linda Perratt is also represented by Shunkawakhan but he is hard to back on recent form, while Zabeel Tower ran better last time but seems a shade high in the weights at present. Catbells has been running consistently well and should be thereabouts again but preference is for Botham.
