In depth
Verdict
Second in a jumpers’ bumper at Lingfield last week, Ferrobin beat Mizen Master almost seven lengths at Market Rasen earlier but was beaten himself by Paricolor here before that. David Pipe’s charge, out of his depth in a Class 3 handicap at Fakenham last time, will be fancied to get back to winning ways but GOODBYE DANCER can take advantage of this drop in class to end his losing run. Wicked Willy was beaten a long way here last month and doesn’t look the force of old.
