Verdict

This is a trappy claimer and OBE ROYAL is given the narrow vote over Ravi River and Jake The Snake. The selection could not be in better form and he is chasing his third win on the bounce here today. He's eased in grade after winning a handicap last time out and with the yard in good form he looks to hold rock solid claims. Ravi River looks the obvious alternative as he won well last time at Wolverhampton when he beat Guildenstern. He remains relatively unexposed and he is another that is eased in grade today. Jake The Snake was a little disappointing at Lingfield on Sunday, but the return to this trip and venue should see him a better light and it would not be a surprise to see him bounce back to form. Kevin Ryan's Yes One would have claims on the pick of his form but he has been a bit disappointing of late and we will stick with Obe Royal as the pick.
