In depth

Verdict

Mr Caffrey has only found one too good in all three starts this summer since returning from injury but is becoming expensive to follow. Macksville was second here last time and might be suited by a step up in trip. Knight Commander has claims on his best form but has switched stables since a close fourth at Market Rasen. DANCEINTOTHELIGHT is the senior runner in this but has 10 career victories to his name and has dropped to a fair mark. Regular partner Abbie McCain takes off a valuable 7lb and the veteran grey can end a losing run.
