In depth

Verdict

WINDSORLOT has now won two of his last three outings having scored at Wolverhampton recently. Ben Curtis was on board for both of those wins and the partnership can notch up another success in this. Cash N Carrie found only one too good in Class 7 company over track and trip last time and can figure along with the Irish filly and recent Dundalk runner-up Newgirlintown. Officer Drivel’s placed effort at Kempton earlier in the week came over a longer trip but he still looks best of the rest.
