In depth

Verdict

Postman has been competing at a slightly higher level and finished third at Leicester two runs ago. MOTARAABET only weakened approaching the last on his chasing bow at Kelso and has since had an outing in a jumpers’ bumper on Polytrack. He is 0-10 but placed twice over hurdles and this won’t take much winning. Kap Auteuil has only been raised 2lb for finishing second at Plumpton and looks a big danger.
