In depth
Verdict
Narrow Uttoxeter winner Empty The Tank faces no easy task here off a 9lb higher mark and might struggle to confirm that running with fourth Private Jones. Mad Money has been thereabouts a couple of times lately while Hi Tide is coming down the weights. Stormbay Bomber would also have a chance on these terms but it's about time SIGNIFICANT MOVE (NAP) was getting his head back in front and this looks a good opportunity given he found the trip too far at Fontwell last month.
