In depth
Verdict
Happy Hussar bounced back to form last time and can land this modest contest from Wild Spice and Kittenkat. The flying doctor¿s twelve year old was just out paced by Saucy Night at Folkestone last time over two miles and five furlongs, going down by six lengths. The extra trip today will be ideal and he looks the one to be on. Wild Spice has been running well in better company and should go close for the in form Williams yard. Meanwhile Kittenkat returned to winning ways at Folkestone last time, easily beating Motcombe by 16 lengths. She is not the most reliable of performers but if in the same mood today she should be in the shake up. Monger Lane should be spot on following three outings and may prove best of the remainder, but Happy Hussar has now hit form and looks worth following
