In depth

Verdict

Bossipop won over the minimum trip on soft ground at Pontefract last week. Stablemate Flying Pursuit beat previous course winner Mark's Choice when scoring over track and trip before beaten over 7f but COMMANCHE FALLS makes most appeal. The latter wasn’t at his best on soft going at Thirsk having won easily in this grade on fast going at Ayr earlier and gets another chance on that form. Treacherous can figure and Coase debuts for a new yard.
