In depth
Verdict
This is wide-open. LA TRINIDAD was noted last time when a staying-on sixth in the Hambleton Handicap at the Dante meeting and must be respected moving to Class 4 company from Class 2 off a 2lb lower mark. He's gone well here in the past and is preferred to Delgrey Boy, one of three Tim Easterby entries and likely to give it a good go from the front. Lion Tower seeks a hat-trick for a yard in cracking form but only inched home latest and is now raised in class. Little Jo, a decisive recent winner, and Irv can also take a hand.
