In depth
Verdict
The betting suggested SHOTGUN START would make a winning reappearance over 6f here last week. He duly obliged by two lengths with Logans Lad further back and is worth sticking with on only his fifth outing. Burnhope is a rare winner but went close at Southwell last time and Kempton third Ambella also has claims having started the year on a 14lb higher mark. Milly's Secret is another tumbling down the weights and Omanome is back on a winning mark.
