In depth
Verdict
A couple of these won over course and distance earlier in the month. Tractor Fred scored in this grade a week ago when finally taking advantage of a slide down the weights but carries a 7lb penalty and DYLANSEOGHAN has been raised only 2lb for winning a more competitive chase in first-time blinkers. A change of scenery may also have helped the veteran and he can go close again for his new yard. Magic River didn’t get very far before being brought down at Fakenham on Friday but had run well at Fontwell before that but Black Centaur had little excuse for a poor effort when sent off favourite at Taunton.
