In depth

Verdict

Winston Churchill looked a little one-paced at Uttoxeter and Oddjob ran a shocker on the same course last time having looked progressive earlier. Minella Fifty fell at the first at Market Rasen but Queen Of Mantua is interesting as she was only beaten a neck at Towcester last month, despite veering off a straight line in the closing stages. STORMYISLAND AHEAD gets the vote, however, as he likes it here and was arguably given too much to do when fifth over track and trip 12 days ago but still finished ahead of Flanagan.
