In depth
Verdict
Schottische had Lendal Bridge back in third when successful over course and distance earlier this month. La Havrese won over an extra furlong here last time but had earlier only been fourth behind Les Gar Gan, who disappointed next time in that race won by Schottische. Mcdelta went close at Kempton 12 days ago but still hasn't managed a win on the all-weather. TOYMAKER (NAP) has slipped back to a winning mark and has been showing signs of a revival lately. He's been done no favours by the draw but Tom Eaves takes over the reins from an apprentice and he could be the value, though Bailiwick looks a danger under the in-form Luke Morris.
