In depth
Verdict
Handytalk won at Chepstow on his penultimate start and returns to the minimum trip while Holbache scored at Brighton last month and could be in the mix. Mister Bluebird placed at Sandown last time and can figure again but THE DALEY EXPRESS finished a close-up fourth at the same track recently and it could be his turn again today having slipped down the weights. Secretfact drops down a grade and is preferred to I'm Watching You at this level.
