In depth
Verdict
Sackett scored over the course and distance in March from a 5lb higher mark and has a 10lb claimer on board though has been badly out of form. Bill And Barn is up 5lb for scoring at Plumpton while REBEL LEADER has been raised the same amount for completing a double at Stratford. The latter looks to have more to offer and a hat-trick is on the cards as winning bumper Dubai Guest has only looked moderate in two starts over fences. Dual bumper winner Scottsdale finished runner-up over fences at Uttoxeter in June and his last two starts have been over timber.
