In depth

Verdict

Poucor has been well beaten in sellers the last twice but he’s been dropped again in the weights and this is a very ordinary handicap. Liam Harrison gave him plenty to do here last time and will hopefully have him closer to the pace today. SWEET VINETTA won here off a mark of 106 in 2019 and runs off 89 today. Brian Hughes partners Gillian Boanas’ mare having a second run since wind surgery. Brickadank was well backed when third at Market Rasen 11 days ago and is a pound lower so also goes on the shortlist.
