In depth

Verdict

EIJAAZ won a claimer over a shorter trip at Redcar last time, but more pertinently he's finished runner-up on his last two starts over C&D and gets the nod to go one better today. Southwell winner Magic Haze has yet to win on turf, but Spahi will appreciate the return to today's trip having gone close at Newcastle on his penultimate start. San Deng and Flora's Pride both won over hurdles when last seen at the track and could figure, while Folk Tune finished third in a claimer over C&D last month and is another to consider.
