In depth
Verdict
A typical low grade Bank holiday seller, plenty of runners, few with chances. The locally trained Bigwig can now run off a mark some 17lbs lower than when last successful here just over a year ago. He is effective over this trip and on the ground, which makes him the one to beat. Misbehaviour, another who isn't trained far from the course has been running well enough at this lowly level to be of interest, but the four-year-old does have to prove he stays this far. Of the others Lord Of The North is less exposed than some of these and could run well at a decent price, while Mountrath Rock, the winner of a seller on the flat nearly three years ago, confirmed his well being with a solid effort on the flat recently and isn't out of this on his handicap debut.
