In depth
Verdict
Shinooki was third at Market Rasen in June after winning at Uttoxeter on his previous start. He shouldn't be far away if ready after a break. Ludlow fourth Mexican Border is worth a try over a longer trip on this sharp track while Rising Teal wouldn't be without a chance at the weights. Miss Biscotti won over 2m here in December but hasn't been seen since. MR MAYNARD was beaten more than 20 lengths when second at Southwell last time but won over this trip at Uttoxeter in June. He may just enjoy a fitness advantage over his likely market rivals so gets the nod.
