In depth
Verdict
Viens Chercher clearly needed his run at Fakenham and better is expected here. Roc D'Apsis is another who will have benefited from a recent run so he goes on the short-list but it’s almost 12 months since Amber Gambler showed any worthwhile form and Cut The Corner has also been out of sorts. Little went right for SET LIST on his reappearance but he was staying on in the closing stages and will strip fitter here. He has won around here in the past off a higher mark.
