In depth
Verdict
Lizzie Langton is only 4lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in December but was a long way behind FINDUSATGORCOMBE over a slightly shorter trip here earlier this month, though is 8lb better off. Rescued Glory looks held on the form book while Gamain hasn’t been at his best this season, though has dropped to a lenient mark and stays well. How's My Friend has only run a couple of times this season but can hardly be expected to find improvement at the age of 14.
