Verdict
Lamb's Cross is tried in blinkers in an attempt to recapture his best form. Acapulco Bay was only beaten a length off this mark at Uttoxeter around this time last year but Devil's Dyke has the better recent form having finished second on soft going at Ffos Las last week. Jigsaw Financial won twice over a longer trip here last year and was third at Towcester last month so also enters calculations. TABLE BLUFF looks the type to improve as he gains experience and Nico de Boinville's claim will help him here. He ran a lot better on good ground at Southwell last time and could run well at decent odds in an ordinary handicap.
