In depth
Verdict
Man Of The North was beaten in a Leicester seller at 100/1 last month but a couple of weeks later landed a Doncaster handicap. Whether he'll be capable of a follow-up is another matter. CHOOCHOOBUGALOO had been threatening to win for some time before a very easy victory at Kelso and though raised a massive 14lb is probably still capable of winning again at this level. Mercer's Troop produced his best run on soft ground at Plumpton but Catchin Time will enjoy the conditions and has plenty of success around here so should go well with his rider's claim a bonus. Boutan ran better at Taunton last time though it's a long time since she won.
