In depth
Verdict
Inn The Bull, a winner at Huntingdon in April, was back to his best when second at Ludlow last time. Lost History made a winning start for the Skeltons over course and distance last month but has been raised 8lb. MAN OF LIGHT made all in a Bangor maiden and never looked like being caught. Pretty much unexposed, he can make a winning start in handicaps with Blue Ribbon very disappointing at Warwick after scoring here seven days earlier.
