Ted's Brother won over track and trip last month and has ran well off higher marks subsequently but it could be the turn of LAZARUS today. The latter has slid 12lb down the weights since October and recent placed efforts on Polytrack suggest Amy Murphy’s charge can open his account in this. Topmeup won a claimer over 7f on Turf last year but has something to prove over this far while the likes of Hard Toffee and Buckland Beau are attempting to end long losing runs but neither look any closer to doing so.
