In depth

Verdict

Most are hard to fancy and the consistent TONY THE GENT can prove too good for his rivals. He doesn't win often but continues to perform creditably in useful handicap company and seems sure to appreciate the descent into claiming grade on the back of two commendable placed efforts in the space of three days at last month's Killarney festival. The Hogan yard field the prime form dangers in the shape of Lincoln and Atlas, preference being for the consistent former who looks the main danger to the selection. It might also be worth keeping an eye in the market on Heavenly Rainbow as she has a chance at her best and is a stablemate of the topweight.
