In depth

Verdict

THANKS FOR COMING ran as though something was amiss on his handicap debut here last month. He'd been progressing well enough before that with a couple of placed efforts in novice company and Nicky Henderson's charge is worth another chance here. Pie At Midnight has been doing his recent winning over longer trips and it was only a modest seller that Perfect Reward won at Stratford last month. Agglestone Rock ran out an easy winner on the Flat recently and has claims, but Rifleman has shown his best form over further. Restart was pulled-up on his return from a long lay-off but won twice at Southwell last year and is not easily dismissed.
