In depth

Verdict

There is plenty of recent form to work with in this and it may be a bit more competitive than the forecast betting suggests. Bold Viking was ahead of Earth Hour, Mangrove and Paper Town in the race won by Sir Frenchie over 7f here two weeks ago but was previously behind AMERICAN LANDING and Earth Hour over course and distance when Mangrove came out on top. The weights appear to favour Alan Greef’s gelding today but there isn’t a great deal between the old rivals. Ben-Hur is not really firing but Desert Chief is not out of this if he can find a little improvement.
