In depth

Verdict

Country Carnival slides further down the weights but has become hard to place. High Security is more consistent but is now 0-15 and Madreselva didn’t find much off the bridle when well supported last time at Haydock, though should reverse Catterick running last year with Bert Kibbler on much better terms. SHALAA ASKER has been thereabouts in better company since being gelded and can get off the mark on Turf at the 11th attempt ahead of Tees Spirit, who is probably better over 6f.
