In depth

Verdict

LUCCOMBE DOWN can build on his close-up second at Sedgefield and go one better here as there is no reason why third Divine Port, who had already had a run, should reverse the form. The Last Leg isn't really improving and Always Tipsy has been well beaten in all three starts so far. Ballybill is worth a market check, however, as he's by Presenting and his dam won a bumper in Ireland in her younger days.
