In depth

Verdict

A Southside Boy finished ahead of In Vino Veritas amd Grand Diamond when fourth over 1m5f here last time and should figure. Miss Macnamara won over 2m at Catterick in between a couple of modest efforts but Jammy Moment's recent second came in a seller at Beverley. The progressive SCRAFTON bids for a hat-trick having won a higher grade handicap at Catterick with the re-opposing Crakehall Lad back in third. James Bethell's charge gets the nod to defy a 5lb rise and go in again.
