In depth

Verdict

Civil Unrest could be interesting now upped in distance and Nathan Moscrop takes off 7lb here. Woodmore should strip fitter for his comeback run behind Markadam over C&D last month and there may not be much between the pair on today's revised terms, while the four-year-old Hartforth went close off today's mark at Doncaster in December and holds Royal Entourage on the form book. Philip Kirby, responsible for the latter, also runs STORMY MORNING and he could be the one to beat if reproducing the form of his victory at Sedgefield two runs ago. The ground was too soft on a return visit to that track last month.
