In depth
Verdict
Miss Sligo won a classified race at Southwell recently but will find this tougher while Stormingin went close to finally breaking his duck on the all-weather when narrowly beaten over track and trip. But SCARBOROUGH CASTLE returns to the Polytrack with every chance having placed at Southwell last time with Harry Davies claiming his full 7lb allowance on this occasion. Big Wing finished a bit closer dropped down to this level at Kempton and cheekpieces are applied.
