In depth

Verdict

SPOTTY DOG (NAP) recovered well from a mistake a couple of hurdles from home at Chepstow and finished full of running to claim second. He can go one better with a clear round over this longer trip. Queen Among Kings also steps up in distance after going close here a week ago but Corrie Lake never looked like catching the winner when runner-up over track and trip last time with Ding Ding not far behind in third. Bob Backus is fitted with headgear after swerving and unseating at Fontwell recently and can figure if the blinkers have the desired effect.
