In depth
Verdict
Some disappointing performers on view in the opener and Brush A King is the suggestion to small stakes. The son of Derrylin had been struggling this season but took advantage of a lenient mark to land a similar event at Catterick late last month and still looks well treated on the pick of his form despite a subsequent 7lb rise. Bigwig has been well below his best of late but will appreciate the better ground here and is on a favourable mark if finding his form while Lightning Star showed a return to form last time and is another to consider despite top weight. Jonjo O'Neill's Colonial Rule proved disappointing last time but has strong claims on his placed effort in better company on his last visit here in February.
