In depth

Verdict

This looks a slightly easier task for Major Cornwallis but he hasn't raced since September. Killermont Street is upped a grade after placing at Lingfield a fortnight ago but Ladofash has slipped down the weights after several modest efforts and is now tried in a visor. Naupaka has been well beaten in maiden company recently but OUT OF ORDER posted his best effort so far when fourth over 7f here on his handicap debut and Tim Easterby’s charge may prove good enough taking a further step up in distance.
