In depth
Verdict
Sleep In First has been in great form but a four-timer may elude him off an 11lb higher mark than when completing the hat-trick at Kelso. Lightening Rod is 5lb higher than when just beaten over track and trip earlier this month but is still preferred to stablemate Narcissist and Teenage Dream, who is better over fences. Knight In Purple was second at Uttoxeter last month and likes it here, however, while Red Inca is fit from the Flat and on a winning mark. But we like the look of CAMACHOICE under a penalty after his facile win at Southwell. He can win again while the ground remains good.
