In depth
Verdict
Teetotal is running well but looks a shade high in the weights now. Boxing Shadows has gone off the boil a little and Work Ethic was beaten in a claimer on the Polytrack on his belated reappearance but Queen Flush is going to pop up at a decent price somewhere before the end of the campaign, though possibly on an easier course than this. JOFRANKA has had a bit of a break since justifying short odds at Nottingham in May and is 6lb higher now but she won't be far away again here in breaking smartly from her outside draw. Rangooned is better than she showed at Musselburgh last time and could be a bigger threat than Baron Run.
