In depth

Verdict

Both Vinnieslittle Lamb and Midnight Charmer are returning from a break and passed over on that score. Zama Zama just can't get his head in front but is getting no respite from the handicapper but Little Jimmy is only 3lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in March, though usually needs a run or two to put him straight. CROCO MISTER was clear of the third when runner-up to Peachey Moment at Bangor in August. The winner has gone in again since to there is nothing wrong with the form and Rosemary Glasson's gelding can go one better today.
