In depth
Verdict
Rustang finished a couple of lengths ahead of Masters Apprentice when scoring over track and trip and carries 6lb extra along with Sauchiehall Street, who won over a mile at Kempton last week. Far Dawn has been thereabouts in handicaps but has crept 6lb up the weights without winning while Falcon Eye and Baghdad make their handicap debuts and the latter steps up in trip. So does ASHINGTON, who was doing his best work in the closing stages over a mile at Lingfield last month and should last home with Jim Crowley’s presence another positive.
