In depth

Verdict

Bridgewater Boys is taken to land this over his optimum trip, with Uhuru Peak, The Bonus King and Dvinsky also considered. The selection doesn' win too often these days, but around two years back he was winning a competitive Ripon handicap over this trip off an 8lb higher mark, and so he is definitely capable. He likes these conditions too, and so a chance is taken on him. The Bonus King will be popular after a 9f Wolverhampton win last time. He is drawn out wide which won't help, and nor will a weight rise, so we will look elsewhere. Uhuru Peak has shown some promise for Mick Easterby and looks likely to get home on this ground too, so could go close, while Dvinsky has to prove he really gets further than a mile. But one who does that is Bridgewater Boys, and he is the pick here.
