Several of those with experience appear closely matched. Rootless Tree and Nimby were both relatively easy winners on debut but the latter’s victory came on Polytrack. Weapons Out is proving very consistent if a little one-paced but maybe Rex Dingle’s claim can help him get his head in front today. Mount Windsor probably need to improve on his second here but EARL OF WISDOM is a fascinating newcomer being the first foal to race of a Listed bumper winner who also won at a decent level over hurdles and over fences.
