In depth
Verdict
Georges Saint got back to winning ways at Ffos Las last month and looks a threat to all in this with Lucy Turner claiming 5lb. Jony Max won over 3m here last month and could have that form boosted earlier on the card. Allo Allo was pulled up in that race but William Cody has been knocking on the door while SCENE ONE (NAP) arrives on a hat-trick. Bryony Frost is in the saddle again on Lucy Wadham’s improver, who still looks to be on a decent mark. Yccs Portocervo has won here over hurdles but all of his chase wins have come at Uttoxeter.
