Verdict
LORD NORMANDY bolted up over 1m2f at Newmarket last October and makes his return to action off a 6lb higher mark. This drop back in trip shouldn't pose any problems and he will prove a tough nut to crack. Zowal just prevailed at Pontefract in April and if building on that display, he ought to go close. Handicap debutant Ramli is next best.
Expert View Verdict
Coming off a good run in a more competitive handicap at York last time, LEADENHALL is taken to return to winning ways over a C&D he likes. He's only 2lb higher than when winning at Nottingham on his penultimate run. Last-time-out maiden winner Ramli is respected on this handicap debut with the promise of more to come. He's the danger with Zowal now stepping back up in grade and faced with drier ground which may not suit.
