In depth
Verdict
WETANWINDY (NAP) may still be on an upward curve and is fancied to defy a further pound rise for finishing second at Wincanton just over two weeks ago. Moot Court has scope for improvement now handicapping but Mr Tambourine Man appears to have gone off the boil and Walk Away Now was very disappointing at Wincanton last time. Nickelsonthedime is now 0-13 under Rules and tried in cheekpieces today.
