In depth

Verdict

My Target won at Wolverhampton back in March and is 5lb higher on his return while Thomas Cranmer finished in front of John Jasper when third over track and trip a fortnight ago attempting to end a long losing run. Paddyplex had been thereabouts here before well beaten at Ayr while SET IN STONE won over hurdles before returning to the Flat with a good effort at Chester last month. She’s back on a winning mark and a chance is taken Rebecca Menzies’ mare takes to the surface on her all-weather debut.
