In depth

Verdict

General Bux is back on a winning mark and should be approaching peak fitness after a couple of outings. Midnight Calamity isn’t badly treated on her reappearance and Orchard Thieves is another worth a market check but teenager LOVE THE LEADER (NAP) showed he was no back number with a second in a first-time visor at Wincanton and he could soon have these on the stretch around this sharp track. Chimes Of Dylan has dropped to a fair mark but is still struggling despite a recent third at Warwick.
