In depth

Verdict

Exploiteur is fully exposed and giving weight to rivals who probably have more scope over this sort of trip. HENRY GONDOFF pulled well clear of a subsequent winner at Wetherby and is improving at a rate of knots so can get the better of Bothwell Bridge, who was no match for Bravesmangame at Newbury after landing the odds at Warwick and is a free-going type. It will be a surprise if any of the others play a significant part in proceedings.
