Verdict
Lamb Or Cod has plummeted to a very low mark and is a previous course and distance winner. Southfield Theatre and Fourth Act both started favourite last time but the former has become expensive to follow and the latter was pulled up at Ludlow. Sonneofpresenting suffered a similar fate last month but will have needed that run and has claims on his form last summer. DELL’ ARCA was behind Drumlee Sunset over 2m4f at Warwick in February but is better off at the weights and can reverse the form over this longer trip as his old rival has never raced beyond 2m5f.
