In depth
Verdict
Peggy Joyce is a half-sister to two winners and Clayton Hall is another newcomer likely to make his presence felt. Avoidable appears to improving with experience and could also play a part but this is probably left to Mark Johnston's charge ISHARAH, who was very well backed over a similar trip at Kempton on his debut earlier this month and was only beaten a length, despite showing signs of greenness. Mr Grumpy is a possible improver but might need this.
