In depth
Verdict
Khulu won a classified race at Thirsk in August but a couple of these went close in handicaps on the same card here last time. Koropick finished in front of The Tron and Blackcurrent when runner-up over track and trip but hasn’t won since 2017 and the three-year-old MAYBE TONIGHT is preferred having been beaten just a length here with Jungle Bee and Good To Go behind. Lancashire Life and Zoom Star aren’t out of this either in an open contest.
