In depth
Verdict
Windforpower had a favourite's chance at this track yesterday and would carry a penalty in this if successful. Lager Time still ran well over 7f earlier this month despite failing to land a hat-trick and he should figure but The Black Jacobin and Betzyoucan have something to prove as they also drop back in distance. BUY ART hasn't raced since winning his maiden at Brighton in June but his yard has been rattling up the winners in the past 10 days and Gary Moore's charge is taken to make a winning return to action.
