In depth
Verdict
STREET ENTERTAINER was tailed off at Bangor last time but should be a cut above these as he won a decent handicap at Fontwell in May. Kyles Faith can chase home the Pipe entry as he won one of these at Uttoxeter last month and ran well over fences at this track eight days ago, albeit over an extra half-mile. It's difficult to see many of the others getting involved if the principals run up to form.
