In depth
Verdict
The most competitive race of the day with Pillars Of Wisdom, Pride Of Nation and Watertree Warrior all worth noting with the vote going to Pride Of Nation. The yard had a first time out winner at Kempton on Sunday and with Pride Of Nation being a backward but improving type last year he will be stronger this time around and looks one to follow this season. Pillars Of Wisdom came good towards the back end of last season when winning at Brighton twice. The handicapper has taken note and as a consequence might find things tuff but he is still worth noting in the betting market. As is Watertree Warrior who has been kept busy on the all weather this winter and is only two pounds higher for winning at Windsor last time out. But for the winner we return to Pride Of Nation.
