In depth
Verdict
A couple of these stand out from the rest having both started favourite on their respective debuts. Winter Power could only manage third at Newcastle recently though her inexperience showed and she has every chance in this. But JOJO RABBIT ran out of steam in the closing stages having led most of the way at Lingfield earlier in the week and Archie Watson’s yard continues to fire-in the winners. Plum Run finished well behind Winter Power and Rishworthian failed to to figure at Pontefract a couple of days ago.
