In depth

Verdict

Presuming Ed looks high enough in the weights for his handicap debut while Dylan's Sea Song has disappointed in his last three starts having been in fine form at the backend of last year. LETSBE AVENUE was in the lead when falling 2 out at Ludlow and though raised 1lb this is such a poor contest that he can make amends. Blazing Saddles had a run in a jumpers' bumper after a fair run at Wincanton but Isthebaropen was beaten a long way on her handicap debut at Carlisle and Vinnie's Getaway has shown nothing the last twice despite being dropped to this grade.
