In depth

Verdict

Newbolt was thrown in at the deep end back on Turf at Newbury and was found wanting. He has a few lengths to find with GIN PALACE on the form book and Eve Johnson’s Houghton’s tough five-year-old should thrive again now he has his sights lowered. Rains Of Castamere was a hot favourite at Nottingham after scoring at Pontefract but was quickly left behind and is a pound higher here. Imperial Command is handicapped on his form on Tapeta and Hieronymus is 0-11 on Turf but Enigmatic is not without a chance.
