In depth
Verdict
LITTLE BIG MAN (NAP) finally showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when beaten only a nose over track and trip last week. He can go one better here dropping down a grade off the same mark. Lutine Charlie was placed over 6f here last week and has won over this longer trip before but Little Indian makes more appeal on the back of a recent third over course and distance. Sleet has been thereabouts of late but remains without a win in 24 attempts while Lily Edge looks no nearer to ending her long losing run.
