In depth
Verdict
There was some cut in the ground when B FIFTY TWO won over the minimum trip here last week. He’s penalised 4lb but should make another bold bid in a weak sprint given the modest recent form of today’s opposition. Normal Equilibrium’s long losing run continues though he does have form in soft going as does the veteran Seamster, who is now back on a winning mark. North Korea has just the one success in 17 attempts while Gift In Time has yet to win a handicap.
