In depth
Verdict
A hood replaces cheekpieces on Reginald Charles, who has been gelded since last seen, but this looks a good opportunity for RIVER USK (NAP) to build on his second over 6f at Catterick as he was placed twice over this trip at Leicester last year. Sunny Orange is having his first run for a new yard but a return to this trip could see Ludo's Landing in a better light and Slingsbytoo placed here back in August.
