In depth

Verdict

Swiss Art won by 20 lengths over C&D in October but may have been flattered by that result and we fancy FUNKY MUNKY to go one better than when beaten less than a length in a conditionals' race at Catterick last week- he gets on well with Ewan Whillans. Stanley Bridge would have a chance on his latest C&D second but Mitchell's Way has plenty to do on his handicap debut and Ros Castle was beaten off a lower mark over fences last month. Livvy Inn was third at Kelso on Sunday but was beaten 16 lengths and is also high enough in the weights at present while Peaks Of Fire is only a plater.
