In depth

Verdict

Venetia Williams has two entered in this but Centurius had a Haydock target yesterday. Eminent Poet hasn’t quite recaptured last season’s form so far this campaign but can’t be ruled out. Max Do Brazil has his first run for David Pipe but kept good company in France and The Gipper was only beaten a short-head in a rough race here last month. TOWN PARKS chased home a nice prospect in a novices’ race here earlier this month. He’s relatively unexposed and can get off the mark on his handicap debut as the going may be too soft for West Torr.
