In depth
Verdict
Consistency is not a virtue held by many of these and this is a very tricky race for punting purposes. However, Ryefield goes well at his local track and is given the chance to follow up his victory in a Newcastle claimer here. The speedy Lion's Domain is respected at this level on the pick of his form but he has something to prove after a poor display last time out. So Sarn may provide the selection with the most to do. However, Ryefield does not have too much to find with his rival on these terms and may be the best bet for value in a race that is full of pitfalls.
