In depth

Verdict

Staff Sergeant finished last on his return from a lay-off and is 5lb higher than when scoring here in May. Ralphy Boy is upped the same amount having beaten the re-opposing Border Bandit a neck over track and trip last time while Dance For Georgie remains on an 8lb higher mark than when last winning at Brighton. Joshua The First will be winning off his current mark soon but another chance goes to stablemate JEANNIE GALLOWAY on only her second start over today's distance with an apprentice's 3lb claim helping her cause.
