In depth

Verdict

This race has cut up a little and the pair to focus on are Tamango and Bergamo. Tamango was just beaten at Exeter last time on his first run for six months, races from the same mark here and should strip fitter with that run under his belt. He is the TEAMtalk selection. Bergamo comes here fit and is not badly handicapped on the best of his form. Sullys Hope's saddle slipped last time but, like Stormy Skye, Jacdor and Reggie Buck, might prefer some cut in the ground now.
