In depth
Verdict
Affluence has been thereabouts in lowly Class 7 company but is still looking for a first success after 20 starts while Foxrush Take Time is a similar type having gone close at Chelmsford last time but being without a win in 29 attempts. Voice of A Leader may do better returning to a longer trip today but a chance is taken on OUTLAW TORN (NAP) returning to winning ways on the back of recent placed efforts given he scored off a 7lb higher mark at this time last year.
