In depth
Verdict
Wolverhampton winner Snow Trooper has claims if forgiven his latest poor effort and Yarmouth nursery winner Slumbering Sioux should improve for her recent comeback at Lingfield. Danceyourselfdizzy improved when dropped into a claimer last time, while there should be more to come from both Divine Rule and Silver Show but the vote goes to MATAVIA BAY. He was headed close home by Franciscan on his reappearance in a much better race at Haydock and a repeat of that form can see Alan Jarvis' charge open his account here.
