Verdict

Calivigny bids for a fourth course victory but would need the heavens to open. Aptly Put arrives off the back of a victory in lesser company at Newcastle but Manetti, Skipthescales and The Ogle Gogle Man chased home I’d better Go Now is a better race here last month and meet on similar terms today. ASK HENRY is just 1-15 but bounced back from a poor run at Uttoxeter to finish second at Warwick last month and has a decent chance of going one better raised only a pound, though a first win over timber at Kelso should have boosted the confidence of Sidi Ismael.
