In depth
Verdict
Latenightdip has won her last two starts between the flags but this isn't the ideal course at which to make her debut under Rules. WHAT OF IT was well beaten at Exeter last time but won at Leicester in February and had recent Ludlow runner-up Mccauley behind when second at Ffos Las subsequently. He looks the one to beat here as, though Media Man won for Ferdy Murphy in his younger days, he is a shadow of his former self.
