In depth

Verdict

Somekindasuperstar has hinted at ability on more than one occasion and this is a very modest handicap. Grandma is also unexposed and ran quite well in a couple of starts here last month while Rockley Point found only one too good off today’s mark at Musselburgh six days ago but Dandy Story has not progressed as expected. ARNOLD hasn’t won for a while but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and has been dropped a further pound since his latest third at Pontefract where he met trouble in-running – this looks a good opportunity for Ann Duffield’s gelding.
