In depth
Verdict
Joly Maker is hard to catch right but is starting to slip down the weights again. Raecius Felix hinted at a revival at Cartmel but SWAPPED (NAP) has clearly benefited from a switch to fences. The latter was always travelling best last time at Worcester and can complete the double as Duke Of Luckley has become disappointing and it’s even harder to make a case for De Grey Mink.
