Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Eccleston scored at Haydock off a similar mark back in May but SNAP SHOTS has the more recent form. Tom Dascombe's charge has gone close the last twice and can race off the same mark as when second at Ripon last time. Meshardal has a shout dropping back down a grade and Rex Imperator scored over track and trip on his penultimate start. Love Island ran well over 5f last time and My Name Is Rio scored over the same distance at Ayr last month. Souville, Harwoods Volante and Adam's Ale are others capable of going well in a typically open sprint.
