In depth

Verdict

In The Red has been raised 7lb after winning here last time but Martin Smith’s charge scored by a wide margin and this isn’t a strong race. Swiss Pride has been thereabouts recently and can go well along with Bounty Pursuit but both Plunger and Quarry Beach disappointed on Turf last time. LATE ARRIVAL returned a losing favourite at Doncaster on his latest start but, with the drop back down in trip likely to suit and his yard in such good form, he gets another chance.
