In depth
Verdict
Slip Sliding Away won over 6f here last time and a 3lb rise is negated by Oisin Murphy's allowance. But he looks better suited to a longer trip rather dropping back to 5f and ZIGGY LEE is preferred. He's not the most consistent of sprinters but ran well for third in a higher grade contest at Nottingham a week ago and can race off the same mark today. Fair Value also has a shout off his current mark but a poor effort over track and trip last month is off-putting while Beach Rhythm's recent win came in a lowly handicap at Bath. Secret Millionaire hasn't won on Turf since 2011 but the veteran Moorhouse Lad ran well in lesser company at Nottingham last time.
