In depth

Verdict

Home And Dry won over 2m at Chelmsford so there are no stamina issues but the race rather fell into his lap and a 9lb rise won’t be easy to overcome. NORMAN KINDU has only gone up 3lb for comfortable success over track and trip and may offer more value if handling easier conditions. Zinc White was progressing slowly last year and should be a different proposition this season over this sort of trip and he has more scope than Carn A Chlamain and Southwell scorer Moneykenny.
