In depth

Verdict

Sophie Leech runs three in this but though Midnight Appeal may be the pick he is still looking a light of former days. I'llhavealook is 7lb higher than when successful over track and trip in March but his rider's claim takes care of that. Rior is back in form but probably a few pounds too high and that may also be the case with Fine Resolve while Barton Rose usually finds at least one too good. ARCHIE RICE won an amateurs' race off a higher mark here last year under Bryony Frost and has been in good form between the flags lately. The 10-year-old can still be a force at this level.
