In depth

Verdict

GANBEI a prolific winner between the flags, put a couple of poor runs over hurdles behind him when landing a handicap at Huntingdon and though an 8lb rise looks a bit harsh he is taken to complete a double. Rocklim landed a Musselburgh handicap early last month, when Bescot Springs finished tailed off, but didn't get far on his only subsequent start at Doncaster. The veteran Hunters Belt has had plenty of success though his ability to stay the trip is unproven despite his last victory coming over 2m5f on this track a year ago. Snapping Turtle has been in poor form but stays the trip and is well handicapped if returning to anything like his best.
