Verdict

TRAPRAIN LAW has run here four times and has yet to finish out of the first two. He’s won twice and can come out on top again ahead of Richhill, who was all out when landing the odds at Southwell latest. The improving Chase A Fortune was entered in the 2.10 Newcastle yesterday while Lihyan is struggling to recapture his Irish form but points winner Dare To Shout will improve on his second at Newcastle and Kingston Bridge won a bumper here in November.
