In depth
Formwatch
London Lights was a comfortable winner at Huntingdon recently and a reproduction of that form could be good enough again here. Bred out of Slip Anchor he has plenty of flat speed and may be one who is open to plenty more improvement. The ex-French Lanzlo looks the main danger returning from a break for a top trainer who has been very patient with him. He should be thereabouts and better is sure to come in the future. Noble Pasao makes his handicap debut today and looks to be racing off a potentially decent mark, he should be one for the short-list. Titus Bramble has been a model of consistency recently but looks held by Lanzlo on their recent Taunton run.
