Verdict

Uphold and Raucous Behaviour have chances at the weights but neither arrive in good form, while Porgy could only manage fourth in similar company to this at York last time, though he'll appreciate today's longer trip. SCAMPERDALE boasts the highest official rating and his recent fifth in a decent handicap here is the best form on offer. Brian Baugh's charge can take advantage of the drop in class and get his head back in front. What About Now should go well without looking good enough to win, but the remainder seem to be up against it on today's terms.
