      In depth

      Verdict

      Young Tiger has gone well here in past and this stiff 5f should help Newgate Angel. Fossos has been running over 6f recently but did win over the minimum trip at Redcar in July. EQUATE slips further down the ratings and a recent run at Catterick was too bad to be true. Partnered by an experienced apprentice, he could be worth a speculative wager in a race that won’t take much winning with this likely to be too short for Muatadel.
