Race preview
THREE PLATOON has been a shrewd purchase by the Rebecca Menzies stable and there may be more improvement forthcoming from the four-year-old as he goes further up in trip after an authoritative victory at Wolverhampton last month. Raised 3lb for his most recent victory over C&D, Riggsby can give him most to think about along with Mukha Magic, who has been runner-up on his last three outings. Formerly with Tony Martin, The Mouse Doctor is another who could get involved after a promising debut for new connections over fences.
