In depth

Verdict

Arden Denis will be fancied to follow up an easy Wincanton victory but he has been raised 16lb, though the promising Harry Reed claims back 7lb. Shanroe In Milan is interesting making his handicap debut after placing twice in maidens at Ludlow. Major Hindrance was third at Uttoxeter last month but Carry On Sydney is on a three-year losing streak and has gone off the boil again lately. TARRONA gave supporters of the odds-on Ice Cool Champs a real fright here last month having been the subject of each-way support. The handicapper has taken no chances but this might not take much winning.
