In depth

Verdict

Run With Pride was placed at Wolverhampton last week but still looks high enough in the weights and was behind runner-up HAMISH MCGONAGAIN over track and trip earlier. The latter also finished ahead of Foxy Boy, Big Lachie, Windforpower and Spirit of Zebedee on that occasion and gets the nod on that form. Dapper Man should be sharper for a recent comeback run at Southwell and may have the edge over the returning pair Brockholes and Semana Santa.
