In depth

Verdict

King Of Arms, Ashleybank House and Lay Bob Back are three against the field in a fairly moderate race and we will side with Ahleybank house. Len Lungo's in mate won well at the course last time when defeating Encore Cadoudal. He will relish this longer trip and will be hard to beat despite his penalty. King Of Arms rates the main danger as at least he is proven over the trip but this looks much more competitive than the race in which he defeated Magenko at Hexham. Lady Bob Back is another that could go well she will relish the stamina sapping conditions is on a fair mark and was a fair fourth behind Sara Monica last time. She has definite place claims.Of the remainder Jacksonville is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Ashleybank House.
