In depth
Verdict
Sunday Rain must have a good chance of following up his victory over two miles at Hexham from a couple of weeks ago. He should cope with the step up in trip without too many problems and will be hard to beat if he is in the same determined mood as last time. Leopard Spot and Malarkey are both open to improvement at this trip and could be the main beneficiaries in the event of accidents.
