In depth

Verdict

His Song Kimberley and Steve The Fish look the main protagonists in a tricky finale and we will side with His Song.. The gelding from the Nicky Henderson yard was well beaten behind Hersov in a much better race last time. He is sure to be suited by the drop in grade and with conditions in his favour he will be hard to beat . Kimberley rates the main danger on his best form the softer the ground the better for him and he is sure to strip fitter here than he did on his seasonal debut so he will not be far away. Steve The Fish could also go well he won well last time out when defeating The River Joker but he will find this harder under his penalty. Of the remainder Indeed To Goodness is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the dropping in grade His Song.
