In depth
Verdict
Mr Potter is 0-18 on Turf but has won five times on the all-weather including three around here. He stayed on strongly to land a Class 7 handicap at Kempton last month and has won from higher marks in the past. MAAZEL (NAP) gained his first all-weather victory at Lingfield last month then just failed to overcome a 4lb rise back there last week. He runs from the same mark here and his young rider's claim gives him a clear-cut chance of returning to winning ways. Secret Lightning has dropped to his last winning mark and should be ready after two runs following a long break while Little Miss Daisy is slowly dropping to a winnable mark but has never raced over a trip this far. Slipalongtrevaskis is still a maiden after 18 starts and has been running in lower-class handicaps.
