In depth

Verdict

Lusaka is upped in class and raised a further 4lb after landing a double while Two Brothers finished runner-up here in May and is upped in distance after scoring at Carlisle last time. But BANDERAS is fitted with cheekpieces on his first start since beating a subsequent winner when landing a maiden over a shorter trip here in May and Michael Bell’s colt can improve further now handicapping. Chase The Dollar finished runner-up here when last in action in over a year ago while Emiyn goes well at the track but needs further to show his best.
