In depth
Verdict
Spotty Dog arrives off the back of a first career win at Huntingdon and a 5lb rise is not excessive but BRETNEY is back over the course and distance over which he beat subsequent winner The Boat and Family Pot in November and he is only 3lb higher. Dock Road was second at Wincanton before unseating his rider when favourite at Fakenham with Motown Lake and Cobra Commander probably the pick of the remainder.
