Verdict

Highly Sprung has won six times here and has dropped to his lowest mark since scoring here in September 2019. Penny Pot Lane also has a good record on the track having won three times while Mr Wagyu, a winner here earlier this month, completed a hat-trick at York last weekend though has gone up 7lb. ABDUCTION had just three runs last summer including when sent to Naas for a valuable auction race. He ended the campaign with an easy victory at Wolverhampton and could be starting out in handicaps off a lowly mark. Ghathanfar is very consistent though has now been beaten three times since scoring at Redcar and has gone up in the weights.
