In depth
Verdict
The veteran Bellgrove, three-times a winner around here, has dropped to a lowly mark but was engaged in the 5.45 here on Friday. SCHMIDT has mainly been racing in the UK and only just failed at Perth and Uttoxeter in-between a poor effort at Cartmel. He can get off the mark over fences though Back On The Bridle did better at Tipperary last time and Give Me A Moment won over fences at Tipperary in May.
