In depth
Verdict
High Country had to work hard to win here last time and may struggle today off a 6lb higher mark, while the Nicky Richards-trained Prince Among Men is proving to be difficult to win with and preference is for Ad Murum. The selection probably found the ground too testing at Cartmel last time and is probably better judged on earlier form here when beating the consistent McQueen. Muckle Flugga looks the second string of the two Richards runners behind Prince Among Men, while Stroom Bank may be best watched on his return following a lengthy break. Ramblees Holly has been well held of late and is on a long losing sequence, while Paint The Lily has harshly been raised 9lbs for his seemingly improved effort at Cartmel and a safer bet looks to be Ad Murum.
