In depth
Verdict
Mornin Reserves had shown little in maiden company but showed his true colours when an impressive five-length winner here last week and is still well treated despite a 6lb penalty however a low draw tempers enthusiasm of the follow up. Football Crazy takes a drop in both class and trip after failing to get home over further and should go well along with Fangio's Quest who should be sharper for his reappearance (now 2lb lower). Welsh Holly is probably capable of better on his handicap debut but suffers from a low berth while Albania is dropping down the weights after some stiff tasks of late.
