In depth
Verdict
A wide open race with many of the runners holding serious chances, but it may be worth taking a chance on Mapleton who hinted at a return to form last time out and with the stable banging in the winners he could go well. The top weight Winter gale has the promising Gino Carenza aboard taking off a valuable seven pounds but he still looks in the handicappers grip. Rolfes Delight won well at Wincanton last time out and if he is in the same mood he could go close. Balnagreine looks on a fair mark and could also go well.
