In depth
Verdict
Kim Bailey doesn't have many runners here but sends last month's easy Perth winner By The Boardwalk north again from Gloucestershire. He's improving and a follow up would be no surprise, despite an 11lb higher mark. Loose Chips got his act together again earlier this year and should give a good account while Enchanted Garden was in front at Perth last time when falling three out, though still looks a few pounds too high. STRAIDNAHANNA was quite highly tried after winning at Newcastle and Catterick around the turn of the year. He was placed here a little under a year ago over an inadequate trip so handles the track and could spring a surprise if fully wound up as George Fernbeck may be out of his depth.
