In depth

Verdict

Megamunch won a claimer at Southwell last time when Con Zur was well beaten. But the latter will be sharper for the outing and could figure if allowed his own way up front. Matraash was beaten in a seller last week but won a handicap here before that and Tight Lipped is not out of this off his current mark. But WATER DANCER (NAP) is less exposed than most and David Elsworth's charge gets the vote to come out best stepping up in trip for his handicap debut.
