In depth

Verdict

Save The Bees escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices' race at Newcastle and should make a bold bid for a hat-trick. But he only just got the better of EUSTON SQUARE last time and the latter can take revenge on today's better terms. Musselburgh winner Dark Ruler hasn't raced since September but Obboorr is unexposed and can figure on only his second start handicapping. Dubai Celebration posted a better effort when runner-up at Redcar recently but this is tougher.
