In depth
Verdict
WBEE (NAP) scored over track and trip before going in again in a higher grade at Cartmel. Raised only 2lb for this, the hat-trick beckons for Gary Hanmer’s charge. Oksana missed out on a treble when third at Cartmel last month though still finished ahead of Khan while The Distant Lady was due to run at Market Rasen yesterday. Drakes Well finished runner-up over fences recently but won over timber at Fontwell back in May and can figure again.
