In depth
Verdict
A low grade handicap with the in form Waltzing Wizard trying to put behind him an unlucky effort at Hamilton. He has the best of the draw here and shapes as though this trip should suit him. Eastern Blue is better than she showed at Leicester and if back on song, she would make them all go. The maiden Bella Beguine is not without a chance, neither is Spitfire Bob, who makes his debut on turf having only run on the All-Weather to date.
