In depth
Verdict
A weak handicap with only ART OF SWING making any appeal. The latter has gone close over 1m4f on his last couple of outings having slipped down the weights and Lee Carter’s charge may prove good enough. Broughtons Story was also placed over 1m4f when third at Leicester back in May but was still beaten 10 lengths while Global Wonder had been threatening over a mile but ran a shocker over today’s trip at Yarmouth last month and the rest are even harder to recommend.
