In depth

Verdict

Fast Track reverts to the minimum trip having been placed over 6f the last twice. But he finished behind ZAC BROWN at Lingfield back in February and the latter is preferred on the back of another good effort when runner-up here last week having attempted to make all. Independence Day was having his first start for nearly a year when well beaten at Newmarket last month but makes his debut on the all-weather while stablemate Exceed The Limit hasn’t raced since August. Lathom slipped down the weights last term and is capable in this grade if back to his best.
