Verdict

Nina Carberry looks an intriguing jockey booking on Mark Brisbourne's Sir Sandicliffe, however Hucking Heat won well for this jockey last time and he can go in again. The selection only had to be pushed out to score at Haydock last time and whilst this track will pose a different test, he is fancied to win again having gained his elusive first turf win. Prelude knows how to win around here, whilst Bienheureux's profile suggests that a big showing should be on the cards. Old Romney is a horse who needs watching in the betting, whilst Rudry World is one of the most consistent and has a good draw to work from. Hugs Destiny has a chance, but this track may not play to his galloping strengths. An open finale, and it is Hucking Heat who can win again.
