In depth
Verdict
Lisdante was travelling well when pulling up last time out at Uttoxeter and if he is over his problem he looks the one to be on despite the drop in trip. Influence Pedler is a thorough stayer but with the assistance of McCoy could easily take a hand in the finish. Gallion's Reach has been in good form of late and despite being out of the handicap he could easily take a hand in this tight affair. Courtledge, who was surprisingly held up last time, could be a value each way alternative if racing more prominently today.
