Verdict

Sam Lord won over the minimum trip on heavy ground here last January and is well handicapped on that form but he's been running poorly. Whichwaytobougie isn't running badly and didn't quite last home over 2m6f here last month so this could be his trip. Northern Acres won this in 2013 and is a consistent type who looks sure to run his race, though he was behind WILLIE HALL when they occupied the places behind Simmply Sam at Ayr last month. That was the runner-up's first start for a new yard and, with Ryan Day again doing the steering, he can go one better.
