In depth
Verdict
Grangewick Flight looked set to score at Market Rasen last time out but unseated his jockey when travelling well. He has a chance on the best of his form and he will be suited by the surface. Red Rampage is penalised for his latest win and the suspicion is this trip will be too short for him. However he is at the top of his game and cannot be easily discounted. Lambrini Gold is the selection now he is on a good mark. A winner three times in 2000 he ran well last time out and could win here at a decent price being suited by the ground.
