In depth
Verdict
A tight handicap that is set to be contested by some real characters. Passereau has had plenty of chances to add to his tally and although he won at Market Rasen a couple of outings ago, he has since underlined his unreliable nature. Orange Order, on the other-hand should have benefited from his recent outing and has the ability to go close here. Mapleton and Hailstorm are others to consider along with Lindajane, who bounded home over course and distance last time.
