In depth
Verdict
More Than Likely has the highest rating and will probably be a short price in this seller but she was staying on over 6f in a handicap here when last running on the all-weather so there are concerns dropping back to the minimum trip over which she has yet to be successful. TAN has won at Southwell and Lingfield and placed around here in the past. He needs to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts but is capable of doing so with the plum draw. None of the others make much appeal either at the weights or on recent form.
