In depth
Verdict
A poor seller where many of the field have little or no chance. The ones to concentrate are mainly those who have previous winning experience. Among them is Cripsey Brook, trained by Nigel Tinkler. A previous winner on fast ground at Brighton, the four-year-old is tried for the first time over 10 furlongs here and has chances if he stays. A distance winner is Flow Beau, who has picked up a couple of similarly poor sellers this season on fast ground. Her latest start can be dismissed as it was an inadequate trip, and she too has a chance. Another to consider is the Mary Reveley-trained Time Marches On. The gelding has won in this grade in today's conditions and his 3rd behind East Cape over 11 furlongs here last time shows he is in good heart. But preference is for Limbo Lad. Pat Haslam's three-year-old remains on the same mark as his 10 furlong win on fast ground at Ripon last time and can go in again here.
