In depth

Verdict

Tafawuk was second at Yarmouth last time but further rain would be a worry. GRANELL is tried in a hood in addition to his usual cheekpieces. He's also worn blinkers in the past so clearly has his quirks but would probably win this if on his best behaviour. Laughing Jack's fifth at Newmarket was an improvement and he could also figure but All The Winds reserves his best for Wolverhampton's Polytrack and both North Cape and Asker have questions to answer at present.
