In depth

Verdict

Second twice at Cartmel this year, Richard Strauss has had a run on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. Never A Word found only one too good at Fontwell last week but is now 0-18 over timber and 0-27 in his career in total. Akkapenko has not won since arriving from France and was still beaten 13 lengths when second last month at Worcester. CANFORD THOMPSON is a bit quirky but his best recent run came on ground similar to today’s and he’s back on the same mark.
