In depth
Verdict
Elkstone is usually thereabouts but remains without a win in 19 starts and has his first outing since July so this looks a good opportunity for PRETTY RECKLESS, who came good over fences at Warwick on only her second attempt - there should be more to come from Dan Skelton’s charge today upped only 3lb. The remainder all arrive out of sorts and have little worthwhile form to recommend them.
