In depth

Verdict

POKFULHAM was tried without his usual headgear last time and ran a stinker. The visor is back on here and a repeat of his earlier second in better company at Ayr would be good enough to land this. Stags Leap has been in better form of late, though he was behind Grandad Bill when the latter scored at Ayr last month as was Kingsdale Orion. Amir Pasha makes a quick reappearance after a poor effort at Redcar on Thursday, while Think Its All Over has saved his best for Southwell so far this season though he has won on turf before.
