In depth

Verdict

Most of these have struggled of late with the exception of YOUNOSO. He stayed on well for third at Wetherby on his latest outing and a similar effort back over this shorter trip should see him thereabouts at the finish. Charlie Snow Angel hasn’t figured since winning at Kelso back in April, though he is back on a winning mark, while Outnumbered slips further down the weights after finishing well behind the winner when third at Hexham. Duhallowcountry was also placed at the latter track last month but didn’t get very far before unseating last time.
