        chased leaders, hampered after about 1f, weakened just over 1f out

        In depth

        Verdict

        A tight handicap on paper but Llewellyn tends to save his best for Southwell nowadays and won at the latter track on his latest start. FRENCH makes more appeal as she was narrowly beaten in a higher grade at Doncaster last month having slid down the weights and is taken to reverse earlier running with Blue Jacket. The latter won over 6f at Catterick in between modest efforts over further and can figure in this but Show Palace has proven best over 5f so far and Exotic Guest has not raced since last summer.
