In depth
Verdict
Wazowski walked over at Sedgefield a fortnight ago but has slipped down the weights since placing here in August. Bingo D'Olivate won over a longer trip at Ayr before returning a losing favourite over 2m at Newcastle while Snowed In drops back down in distance having placed in both outings in January. But INSTINGTIVE gets another chance racing off a lower mark back over timber after finishing second over fences here given Lisa Harrison’s charge won over course and distance off a similar mark early last year. Cyrano Star looks best of the rest on his recent second at the track.
