In depth
Verdict
Hayadh has a big weight but has won off a higher mark in the past including a Class 2 handicap. Rousayan is reasonably consistent at this sort of level which is why he's only slowly coming down the ratings. Le Chiffre has continued in fine form since going up 7lb for completing a mid-summer double while HARRY LOVE, who completed a double last summer, had wind surgery after a poor run at Pontefract and gained a shock 50/1 victory over an extended 7f at Beverley. He came with a late run to lead close home and the longer trip will suit and he's only 4lb higher so can go in again. How Bizarre won a Class 5 handicap here in July and is only 1lb higher.
