In depth

Verdict

GUNNERSIDE (NAP) appeared to have something up his sleeve when gaining an overdue victory here 12 days ago. He’s only been raised 2lb and regular pilot Sam James, who partnered Kath's Toyboy to a narrow win here four days ago, is back on board. Thismydream is consistent but just 1-26 and that sole victory came over 5f so Blackjack looks a bigger danger having already won twice over course and distance this year, though he’s been raised 2lb for a recent second at Chelmsford.
