In depth

Verdict

A wide open handicap here. Pornic has been in good form of late, is proven on the ground and he will be hard to beat if he can reproduce his latest third behind Edmo Heights at Haydock last time. Nowell House rates the main danger on his second behind Teme Valley, but he was slightly disappointing last time out and he does not always find as much as expected off the bridle. Brave Vision is also worthy of consideration but his best form is on much faster ground. Takeyourtime has the best form in the field but he is still a maiden. The gelding from the Andy Scott yard is sure to run his race again but he will probably find one or two to good. Protocol won a seller at Market Rasen last time out but this is a lot more competitive. Natural would have a chance on his best form but was very disappointing last time out. Bengal Boy is a much better horse on faster ground.
