In depth

Verdict

Danielle Mooney is good value for her 5lb claim in races like this and she should go close on Mowhoob. David Nicholls' six-year-old hasn't won for a couple of years but his comeback third at Redcar is probably the best form on offer here. JONNIE SKULL has won here seven times, all off higher marks. He wasn't disgraced last week at Lingfield over a trip too far and may be ready to resume his love affair with the track. Honey Badger, now visored, Harry Bosch and Ocean Bentley may be best of the rest.
