In depth

Verdict

Several of these are closely matched and only a tentative vote of confidence goes to the lightly raced Reeling N' Rocking, while Hollow Jo and Million Percent are others that are capable at this level and are respected. Scuba, who despite carrying top weight, also has a feasible chance is worth monitoring in the betting. Million Percent has been raised 3lb for his recent course and distance success; but is still well treated on the best of his efforts. The draw has been kind to him and a bold bid can be expected if Robbie Fitzpatrick can get him to settle on the back of the likely strong pace. Hollow Jo will also be suited by that scenario and the mount of Eddie Ahern is fully expected to be involved in the thick of the action. However, Reeling 'N' Rocking is far less exposed than his main rivals and he rates as the best value option on these terms.
