In depth

Verdict

Little Rory Mac was always travelling well when scoring at Market Rasen and a penalty should not prevent another good run but Clearly Capable only won a seller here last week. Sea Story was well backed at Hereford last month and The Crooner is another who will have benefited from a recent run but THE GAME IS A FOOT showed he was no back number at Lingfield eight days ago and Zoe Davison’s veteran is a real mud-lark who is on a fair mark at present.
