Verdict
There are a few with a bit to prove in this. Iolani has placed a couple of times this year but is not the force of old and looks held by Fathers Advice on latest Cartmel running while Balranald’s win at Bangor in May, his only one in 26 starts over hurdles, already seems a distant memory. Ambassador’s bubble was burst at Uttoxeter last month so this can go to GAME BEAAA, who had shown promise before getting off the mark at Market Rasen last month.
