      In depth

      Verdict

      A Class 4 handicap that is rather out of sync with the rest of the card. Captain Lars had Krystallite behind when successful at Wolverhampton and followed up over this track and trip last week when Crosse Fire, who is 7lb better off, was back in third. The Big Lad got back to winning ways at Lingfield last time but has never experienced a surface this slow. DUNGANNON is in the veteran stage now but his last win came over this course and distance a year ago off a 7lb higher mark. Josh Bryan takes off a further 7lb today and, with his yard in good form, the 10-year-old can record a 12th career victory.
