In depth

Verdict

Tomkevi gained his first success since arriving from France when ploughing through the Haydock mud last month. He's still a youngster and there should be more to come despite having had plenty of experience. Clan Legend has completed a hat-trick though has had to battle. Another 8lb rise makes this much more difficult while Good Vibration doesn't look particularly well handicapped for his handicap debut. New tactics were tried with Redkalani at Doncaster where he made all for a convincing victory. That was over three miles but he should have no problems dropping back though a 12lb rise is another matter. SIR VINSKI has won twice over hurdles, both times over this trip. He's been tried over further in his last three races and hasn't stayed so with Davy Russell an intriguing booking he's taken to get back on the winning trail.
