Verdict
Sark was placed over 1m2f here last time and has proven best over that trip. The Detainee won at the first time of asking for Neil Mulholland when scoring over track and trip but was well beaten in soft ground earlier. St Andrews was runner-up here last time but has yet to win in 14 attempts while Goldslinger won four times including this race in 2015 though hasn’t scored since. But GRAMS AND OUNCES is only 2lb higher than when winning at Bath last month having scored in soft going over course and distance before that and Grace Harris’ charge gets the vote on that form.
