In depth
Verdict
Apart from one run at Haydock, The Character hasn’t shown a great deal since returning from injury but this isn’t a great race. Cape Fair ran well here in April but has been well beaten twice since. Delirious Love drops down a grade but is now 0-11 under Rules. COMPATRIOT was third off this mark at Market Rasen last month on his first run since the autumn and any improvement on that would make Olly Murphy’s charge the one to beat.
