In depth
Verdict
Another Trump is now fitted with a visor in an attempt to rekindle his enthusiasm but, always a risky proposition, he looks to have lost any appetite for the game he may have once possessed. Thornton Alice isn't running badly and has been dropped a pound since her latest fourth at Uttoxeter. She should at least make the frame while Bracken House arrives off the back of a couple of placed efforts over lesser trips and should be thereabouts if lasting home. AM I BLUE hasn't won for more than two years but has tumbled down the weights and this looks her best chance for a while.
