In depth

Verdict

Longueville Flier has decent claims on his recent second over these fences with ITSTIMEFORAPINT back in fourth. But the latter represents a yard in fine form and Lucinda Russell's charge will have come on for that first start since April and is fancied to reverse running in this. Oil Burner scored off a similar mark at Ayr early in the year but Silver Dragon has plenty to find with the selection on last year's form at the track. Brave Buck and Be A Dreamer are not out of this on their best efforts but both failed to complete on their respective comebacks.
