In depth

Verdict

TINY TANTRUM (NAP) looks set to go one better having finished runner-up over course and distance last month as he drops down a grade for this. Midnight Mary won at Doncaster before struggling over a longer trip at Warwick while Bolt N Brown reverts to hurdling with a shout having fallen over fences here earlier in the month. Avithos is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best and is preferred to Kilbrew Boy of the remainder.
