In depth
Verdict
An open sprint with Due For Luck bidding to remain unbeaten on his handicap debut and Midnight Lir arriving in fine form. Leaves Of Grass and Bazball are recent winners on the all-weather though none of the above have encountered soft ground before so HACKMAN (NAP) is preferred. The latter has faced a number of tough tasks since winning his maiden on an easy surface over track and trip back in May and a bold bid is expected on his handicap debut.
