In depth
Verdict
Newspage is hardly consistent but blinkers could help him concentrate. Shabach made all between the flags last week so arrives in good heart while Another Dark Rum could also figure. Monogram was fourth in a handicap at Kelso in February and should appreciate this easier grade but the booking of Harry Bannister for Stephanie Easterby's BANNY'S LAD looks significant so he gets the nod.
