In depth
Verdict
Runners from the Tim Easterby yard are yet to hit top-gear but On The Brink made a very encouraging debut at Haydock last month, and should be a different proposition here with that run under her belt. She took her time to get going on that occasion but finished the race with a rare rattle, and was unlucky in that her effort came a fraction too late for the post. The stable's runners usually benefit from an outing and she should be followed if the price is not too restricting. Double Assembly was favoured by the draw at Chester last time but still ran out a convincing winner and can continue to give a good account of herself here.
