In depth
Verdict
A competitive affair for the Merseyside punters to get their teeth into. Meadows Boy was on his best behaviour when scoring in lesser grade at the last meeting. However, he returned to his wicked ways last time out when refusing to line up. Vilprano certainly knows his way around the track and it would be no surprise to see the eleven-year-old go close if the ground were to be bottomless. Sadler's Secret and Mithak renew rivalries. The latter is now better off in this race and is probably a more realistic proposition in the going. Ocean Tide is made as a tentative selection. He was more than capable of handling the surface during his flat career and it is interesting that the trainer has elected to use the services of a professional jockey on this occasion.
