In depth
Verdict
Go Go Green loves it here but is held by Distant Past on course and distance running last June. Jebediah Shine has already had a busy campaign but is holding his form well. Olivia Fallow will strip fitter for her run at Redcar but Bowson Fred needs to step up on his fourth at Chelmsford. A quartet of three-year-olds are taking on their elders and could hold sway. Adham needs more but Rosina has her sights lowered after contesting a Listed race at York. EL ASTRONAUTE is very speedy so needs quick ground to show his best and should get that here. After seconds at Chester and York, he may be poised to go one better as he's better drawn than old rival Paddy Power.
