In depth

Verdict

Scottish Roots, Mr McDuck and Sweeping Storm are all sure to have their supporters in this hunter chase but we will take a chance on Banana Ridge. The selection has been very disappointing on his last two runs but he does not stay three miles and now he is dropped to a more suitable trip he looks the value bet under conditions that suit. Scottish Roots rates the main danger but he was a lucky winner last time when defeating Beauchamp Oracle. However he is another that will be suited by the drop in trip. Mr McDuck is another that could go well he was a fair second behind Perchancer last time out but that was on soft ground and he is not as effective on this faster surface. Sweeping Storm has been in good form between the flags of late and is another that could go well, while Dream Of My Life is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Bannana Ridge.
