towards rear, behind and struggling halfway, tailed off
Sir Lancelott won at Wolverhampton when last seen in action nearly a year ago now and is 4lb higher on his return. Bazzat’s winning run came to an end off today’s mark here last month when well behind the runner-up RATTLE ON. Jim Boyle’s charge is one of the least exposed in the field and any further progress should see him off the mark. Candesta has won twice this year but was well beaten last time after a 6lb rise for an earlier win at Kempton and the remainder are harder to fancy.
