In depth
Verdict
Mulberry Lad is holding his form well at present and he can reverse last week's form with Tipsy Lad if more patient tactics are employed today, while Look Of Eagles is also feared as a live danger in his current frame of mind. Nelson De Souza gets on well with the last named and, as he takes a handy 3lb off with his claim, the partnership should be capable of a bold show. Watch the betting carefully where they are concerned. Tipsy Lad is closely matched with the selection after their encounter at Lingfield last Saturday. However, he had a hard race from a poor draw on that occasion and needs everything to drop just right for him today. Therefore, it can pay to switch to Mulberry Lad, who has the proven form on this surface and it will be no surprise to see Darren Williams dictate a more steady pace this time around.
