In depth

Verdict

As he carries the maximum weight, ALLERFORD JACK is spared 2lb of his latest penalty. It was a better race that he won at Uttoxeter on Monday and, with Micheal Nolan claiming 7lb, Richard Woollacott's improving eight-year-old can complete the hat-trick. Gougane has had a break since winning a small race at Cartmel at the start of June while veteran Lidjo De Rouge is an infrequent winner nowadays. Mad Professor could run into a place, however, and Stafford Charlie won on his chasing bow at Worcester last month though was only a plater over timber.
