In depth
Verdict
Mango Chutney is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though his victory came in a seller and he's since been beaten in a Catterick handicap. POPSIES JOY (NAP) ran well in a better race than this here last week. She's 5lb higher than her only success at Beverley in May but Rachel Richardson's claim can see her back in the winner's enclosure. Tan Arabiq ran poorly over a mile here last month after gaining a shock victory on an earlier visit. Mr Lucas has yet to win and has been beaten from lower marks while Iceaxe tackles the trip for the first time though he did make all over 6f here in April. Bahamian Sunshine ran well over the trip at Doncaster in June but finished last when reverting to 6f at Leicester.
