In depth
Verdict
Wetlands attracted strong support on his debut here in November but was probably in need of the run so should do better though NYOUFSEA looks the one to beat. Iain Jardine's grey made his debut here in January and though never in contention stayed on nicely from the rear and will know much more this time. Drenagh was very moderate between the flags but made a fair bumper debut at Bangor and looks certain to improve as does Get With It from his run here in December.
