In depth
Verdict
Domtaline is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Carlisle. Lycidas has a shout on his earlier second at Newcastle while Crackdeloust ran well under a penalty last time having won a novice event at Sedgefield earlier. But SUDSKI STAR (NAP) may prove good enough in this having beaten Weapon Of Choice last time to land a course and distance double. The latter has been well beaten subsequently albeit in much better company than this.
