In depth
Verdict
Strictly Carter has every chance once again having won with a bit to spare over course and distance back February. Fareeq’s more recent success came at Southwell but he also won over 6f here in January while RAFFLE KING went close at Wolverhampton on his return to action and debut for Ruth Carr’s yard. The latter is fancied to confirm running with third-placed Powerful Dream and finally open his account dropping down a grade for this. King Crimson slips further down the weights as he looks to end a losing run while Indian Pursuit landed a double at Catterick last year but hasn’t raced since October.
