In depth
Verdict
THE BRITISH LION opened his account with a victory at Newcastle during the week and should make another bold bid despite a penalty as he drops down a grade. Bezos won over 7f at Lingfield earlier but is 8lb higher now. Ryan Moore takes over the reins today while Bungee Jump will find this more difficult than the claimer she won at Lingfield last week. Elite Shadow has gone backwards in novice company after a debut second at Yarmouth and makes his handicap debut.
