In depth

Verdict

Washington Heights made virtually all over 5f at Carlisle on his latest start but looks vulnerable over this longer trip as this course takes no prisoners. Shine's Ambition caught the eye at Chester but the high draw will be no help and with that in mind, BRAVEHEART BOY makes appeal if the gaps emerge at the more opportune of moments. Glory Call represents a stable that had a winning juvenile at Catterick earlier in the week so any money for him should not be dismissed lightly. Zerbinetta has a fair draw tonight and is a full sister to a winner over a mile.
