In depth
Verdict
ORVAR is back on a winning mark and finished closer at Doncaster last week when ahead of Tathmeen, Duke Of Firenze and Triple Spear. Seen The Lyte won at Doncaster earlier this summer and can figure while Wrenthorpe would appreciate any further rain and may well reverse latest running with Catterick winner Canford Bay. The latter is drawn high today along with Powerallied, who finished in front of Mutabaahy here recently, with Dylan De Vega and Manshood others drawn on the outside.
