In depth

Verdict

Cherry Gold, Balinova, Macy and Maggies Brother look the three to concentrate on in this contest and we will take a chance on Cherry Gold. The selection won well last time out when defeating Sohapara in facile fashion. He again has conditions to suit and if he is in the same form he will be hard to beat. Balinova rates the main danger he is one of the least exposed in the field and has won his last three points in easy fashion. If he copes with these stiff regulation fences he will not be far away. Macy was a fair third behind Tirley Gale last time and this looks easier so he is another with definite place claims. Maggies Brother is another that could go well but he is very one paced and their is no reason why he should beat Caught At Dawn as he has 24 lengths to make up on that rival and they will have to improve on that form to beat the selection Cherry Gold.
