In depth
Verdict
Milton Road has gone backwards since narrowly defeated at Brighton last month and Shay C still finished five lengths behind the winner when runner-up at Ayr. VENTURA DRAGON will have benefitted for the experience of his debut third at Pontefract. Richard Fahey’s colt should make a bold bid in this and gets the nod. Seyaady is related to a winner in Germany and Magic Mark represents last year’s winning trainer.
