        Verdict

        St Andrew's Castle won over track and trip before disappointing back here while Breguet Boy scored at Musselburgh last month but returned a beaten favourite last time. CHURCHELLA started a big price at Leicester on his handicap debut but found only an odds-on favourite too good and there looks more to come from her over today’s distance. Whatacracker could improve for this longer trip while Alpina Express may do better now handicapping.
