Verdict

Ghutah bounced back from an absolute stinker at Worcester to score here in a seller over 2m 1f (Sir Risky well behind); and with the ground anticipated to be lightning fast, he is given the TEAMtalk nod to land the opener. Wayne Hutchinson's mount is arguably more effective over a shorter trip but he could be good enough to defy the penalty. What You Know had Ghutah well behind on that Worcester run and Debra Hamer's charge will not be 66/1 today. His form makes him difficult to assess and the handicapper has taken no chances in raising him 10lbs. Timpani is the interesting one here. Today is his first foray into selling class after posting a couple of moderate runs in handicap company. The trip and the going are imponderables but Martin Pipe's charge has to be respected in such a lowly grade. Cead Mile Failte is at least fit from the flat but his efforts over hurdles have been scarcely anything to write home about. Land Girl and Boxer's Double would need to step up on all known form to take any hand in this contest.
