In depth
Verdict
Sir Canford has rather lost the plot since landing a novices’ handicap at Uttoxeter in July but Lucky's Dream is fit from the Flat and Anger Management won at Bangor five weeks ago. Emily Wade has her going but she is only 1-14 and Benny Silver came up short on his handicap debut in August and has been raised a pound since. SAINT JAGUEN (NAP) tackles handicap company for the first time and could be well treated on placed efforts at Market Rasen given the longer trip is certain to suit.
