In depth
Verdict
BLYTON LASS won a handicap over track and trip in September and should be in the mix in this lowly grade. Foxrush Take Time is usually thereabouts but remains without a win in 32 attempts and was beaten by Muraaqeb over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton back in February. Merdon Castle attempts this longer distance for the first time while Foxy's Spirit went close here in between her more usual poor efforts and Outlaw Torn pops up whenever the mood takes him.
