In depth

Verdict

This faster track will suit River Bounty, who is a sporting selection in division one of the maiden; Rockfield Lodge and Without A Prayer are others that showed promise on their debuts and are worth noting in the betting. Arniecoco and Up The Wycombe are others that are bred to be effective at around this trip and, although likely to need the run today; they are worth bearing in mind for future reference. Without A Prayer was well backed when he was introduced at Wolverhampton - just failing to justify favouritism by hanging inside the final furlong. He should be sharper for the experience and can pay his way before too long. Rockfield Lodge was not given a hard time when he was fourth in a similar contest at Wolverhampton at the start of this month, and it is interesting that Jamie Spencer has been keen to keep the ride. The son of Stravinsky is one to bear in mind when he goes handicapping. However, River Bounty makes appeal from a betting perspective today, as she looks a likely candidate to make the running. She showed plenty of dash on her debut at Kempton and, as a draw in stall 10 is not such a burden in a race of this nature, the daughter of Bahamian Bounty would be dangerous to underestimate here.
