In depth

Verdict

One To Follow is better than recent form figures may suggest but Just Intersky looked progressive when last seen on this surface and he can defy a 3lb rise in the weights today. Vince Smith's charge has been hurdling lately and whilst he hasn't been setting the world alight, he hasn't been disgracing himself. His last win was on this track and his record on the all-weather reads very well. One To Follow takes a drop in trip and whilst connections still seem to be searching for his best trip, he remains capable of better, whilst Wind Flow and Tancredi are both pretty consistent and each has winning course form. Rose Row has put in two very solid performances in 2008 so far and remains capable of getting the head in front, sooner rather than later. At a price, the first-time visor may bring about some improvement in Summerofsixtynine as he reverts to the sole trip that he has won at, however we will return to the more solid option of Just Intersky to defy top-weight.
