In depth

Verdict

HYDROPLANE has hit top form along with his trainer. He followed a 1m2f success at Salisbury with a convincing three-length victory at Wolverhampton and this longer trip and first-time headgear will likely bring further progress from Sir Mark Prescott’s charge. Frankadore ran well on the all-weather before struggling at Haydock while Artistic Language failed to figure over track and trip last time having placed in heavy going at Carlisle before that.
