In depth

Verdict

Lac Sacre only won a seller at Southwell in December and has been beaten in that lowly grade since. Santo Thomas has won off a higher mark but that was in 2012 and he's been struggling to get his head in front off similar marks recently. Dovils Date is best watched after a disappointing reappearance at Leicester in December while The Pier appears out of sorts. Big things were expected of PURE SCIENCE this season but he's now had six tries to get of the mark. The handicapper has given him a great chance, today, however and he can finally get his head in front.
