In depth
Verdict
Chepstow winner Look Here's Al will need to improve again to figure, a remark that also applies to the consistent Youonlyliveonce, who has gone up 2lb for finishing third here last month. LAYLA'S KING made a promising return after a two-year absence over a mile here last time where he was staying on at the finish behind Normandy Knight. He's given the vote to make enough progress for this though Cool Beans, who was beaten about the same distance by that winner at Leicester last time, has a real chance at these weights though remains a maiden. Pencaitland ran easily the best race of her short career here last month while it's extremely rare to find an Irish raider this far east so the presence of Bold Henmie is intriguing.
