In depth
Verdict
This is HOCHFELD’s best trip, as he showed on his reappearance at Musselburgh, and he’ll expose any weaknesses in the so-far unbeaten Lostwithiel, who steps up another couple of furlongs on his handicap debut. The returning Monsieur Lambrays has his ground but he did look high enough in the weights on his final two starts last year. Manjaam has gone off the boil since winning twice at Newcastle at the start of the year while Speedo Boy might just need this.
