In depth
Verdict
A tricky selling handicap to start this six race card, Antony Ebeneezer looks capable of giving the weight away and is selected to beat Summer stock and Protocol. Connor Dore's entire runs consistently well in this grade and put up another solid display when chasing home Diamond Joshua at Uttoxeter last month. He disappointed last time over trip too short and will be seen to better advantage over this more appropriate distance. Summer Stock is very one paced but wasn't beaten far at Taunton last time and should appreciate this longer trip. Protocol can also be given a squeak on bits and pieces of form and could run into a place. so a very poor event and Antony Ebeneezer looks to be the safest option.
