In depth

Verdict

Ranger Bob just failed to catch Masalai last week, when Hands Down was just behind, and both should make bold bids to lose their maiden tags. Caesar's Comet dead-heated over the trip last month before finding 6f too sharp a few days later but SISTER LOLA dropped down from a mile to run her best race to date last week and Eddie Lynam's filly can get off the mark. Sideshow Bob has been running well over a mile but has yet to race over a trip this short and though Porterinthejungle has performed well the last twice she's still a maiden after 17 starts and has been beaten off lower marks the last five times she's run.
