In depth
Verdict
Ex S'elance failed to complete last time having made a winning debut over fences before that when successful over track and trip with the re-opposing TREVELYN’S CORN finishing second. The latter is fitted with cheekpieces for this and can turn the tables on more favourable terms. Pileup was a beaten favourite at Market Rasen on his chasing bow though ran well and is also fitted with headgear today. Broomfields Kan should appreciate this return to a shorter trip and looks best of the rest.
