In depth
Verdict
Metabolt is penalised having completed a double with a recent success at Windsor while Danzan is due to be raised by 2lb more than today’s penalty after making all on soft ground at Thirsk though a high draw has done him no favours. King Cabo and Brasil Power are helped by apprentice’s allowances while Maywake is preferred to Dolly Gray over today’s trip. But PAWS FOR THOUGHT has won off much higher marks here in the past and a chance is taken a recent breathing operation brings about a return to form in an open contest.
