In depth
Verdict
Few make any appeal and Richardson ran poorly last time raised 12lb for winning at Uttoxeter earlier. On Springs may improve handicapping for the first time today while Gilwen Grayson ran well for a long way here on his handicap debut before fading away. HENSCHKE also ran over track and trip on his handicap bow but fared much better when third in a first-time tongue-tie and Warren Greatrex’ charge should make a bold bid on that evidence. Stylish Dancer slips further down the weights having struggled for some time now.
