In depth

Verdict

Linda Green, Colonel Cotton and Caustic Wit look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap with the vote going to Colonel Cotton. The selection is well in on his best form was a fair fourth behind Ryedale last time out and in a race that looks sure to be run to suit he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Linda Green rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Mirasol Princess. Caustic Whit is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder High Ridge has the ability to go close but does not like to use it and with this in mind for the winner we return to Colonel Cotton.
