In depth
Verdict
This should prove to be an informative heat and it is difficult to rule too many out. Hernandita has good form to her name from the pick of last season's efforts and is dangerous to dismiss. However, Search And Destroy, who obviously had a few problems before making a winning reappearance at Doncaster earlier in the month, displayed sterling battling qualities at Town Moor and can follow up here if he is in the same frame of mind. He shapes as if further will suit him in time but may be too strong in a finish for his rivals today. Support for Leatherback and Serenus should be noted for each-way backers who are looking for clues from the betting ring.
