In depth
Verdict
This is tougher than the race Snookered won over 1m4f here last week while Stag Horn remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Goodwood in June. THE NAVIGATOR has also risen in the weights but won by a wide-margin over course and distance three weeks ago and look worth sticking with. Chief Craftsman wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Chester recently while Theatro can get involved back over today’s trip having struggled over 2m at York.
