In depth

Verdict

Forpaddytheplumber was only beaten a length between the flags at Dromohane last month and Blackwell Bay was also second in a point in April. Prairie Wolf was third under a penalty at Carlisle after winning at Kelso but new connections paid £42,000 for HERMES DE GOUET after he won a maiden point in the spring and he could cap a good day for Venetia Williams. Sporty Jim will almost certainly improve on his fourth at Market Rasen and looks the danger.
