In depth
Verdict
A tough-looking finale with 13 runners set to do battle over just short of 1m4f. Mark Johnston's Two Marks, who heads the weights, has been largely disappointing since stepping into handicap company but can't be dismissed lightly in what looks a poor contest. Mick Easterby's Sunnyside Royale may have caught a tartar in Broughton Zest at Beverley last time and will have his supporters as will Tim Easterby's Missing, who should appreciate the step up in trip.
