In depth
Verdict
Serjeant Painter has 11 lengths to find with RANCO on Worcester running in June and is no better off at the weights. David Pipe’s four-year-old has been gelded since and has a good chance of opening his account in this despite conceding a pound to the hat-trick seeking Andapa, who has come good recently at Uttoxeter. None of the others make much appeal though Connor Brace has placed several times on the enigmatic Billy The Squid.
