In depth
Verdict
A 7lb rise for an earlier win at Wolverhampton proved beyond Bosham last time and MONEY TEAM makes more appeal. The latter can race off the same mark as when a close-up third over track and trip last month in a higher grade than this. Jacob's Pillow has been thereabouts at Southwell of late and is just as effective on the Polytrack but course and distance winner Cloak And Degas and recent Lingfield runner-up Spinning Cobblers are both upped in class today.
