In depth

Verdict

Already a winner at Market Rasen and Sedgefield this season, Onenightintown is still at the right end of the handicap and is receiving a massive 27lb from the Perth and Kelso winner Get With It. Spark Of Madness should be approaching peak fitness but Patagonia and EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE are making their seasonal reappearance and fencing bow. However, the latter is a half-brother to the useful chaser Cavalry Master so anything achieved over hurdles was probably a bonus.
