In depth
Verdict
Anthony Honeyball has four entered in this with the mare Eleven Fifty Nine possibly the most interesting, despite reappearing after a lengthy break. Oscar Prairie appreciated the drop in grade to score at Towcester last month and 10lb claimer William Featherstone again takes the ride. Lamps arrives off the back of a win at Market Rasen but a similar race here last month could hold the key to this. BOB TUCKER was driven out to score with favourite Minellahalfcentury a close-up fourth and we fancy Brendan Powell's charge to confirm the form, despite being a couple of pounds worse off. Neither Milan Bound nor Angles Hill could be ignored if back to their best.
