In depth

Verdict

King Ozzy had been threatening to score before failing to figure at Plumpton last time while both Morestead and Johnnys Legacy have made the frame recently without troubling the winner. GOT ATTITUDE never looked like catching Riddlestown at Towcester last time but is dropping down a grade for this and Tony Carroll's veteran is taken to end a long losing run. Sambelucky may do better dropped another couple of pounds with a visor replacing the more usual headgear.
