In depth

Verdict

Nothing in form here though Cantkidakidder was going quite well when last seen in the autumn. Bellgrove is on a long losing run but hasn't been running badly and this is a low-grade handicap. Philip Rothwell's yard in in excellent form and Rightback Atya may be able to outrun his poor recent form but top weight School Lane is 0-23 over fences. DOWNTHECELLAR's only decent effort came over hurdles on good ground on this track. He's been well beaten in all three starts over fences but makes his handicap debut and may be good enough. Fly De Megaudais was first reserve in the 5.25 at Tipperary yesterday.
