Verdict

This has proved a lucky race for Paul Hanagan who has ridden the last three winners for different trainers including one for Richard Fahey in 2013. But Bletchley Park will need a big improvement on what he has shown so far to figure. Life Less Ordinary makes more appeal given he won impressively at Windsor last time and should go close again if handling the softer going. Musselburgh runner-up All Of You steps up in trip but BORAK finished second over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month on his reappearance and handicap debut and gets the vote to land this ahead of Hamilton maiden winner More Mischief.
