In depth

Verdict

Rioja Day won over a shorter trip here last month but finished nearer last over track and trip recently when GRANITE CITY DOC was runner-up. The latter has more scope than most of these and may prove good enough in a weak-looking handicap on only his third start of the year. Archie's Advice and Green Howard have both disappointed since placing last month while Polar Forest was still beaten a long way when third at Carlisle.
