In depth
Verdict
Mr Orange was only beaten a nose at Leicester recently but Caeser The Gaeser and More Beau finished less than a length behind and all three have a shout in this. But MEANDMYSHADOW posted a better effort when third over course and distance a fortnight ago and Alan Brown’s charge gets another chance today having scored off a 5lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last year. Rock Canyon is getting closer and Encantar is another with claims off her current mark.
