In depth

Verdict

Briscoe Place is impossible to oppose here with Salhood and Slalom rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time when beating Cunning Pursuit and although having a penalty he need only put in a clear round to win with plenty in hand. Salhood rates the main danger on his latest second behind Schinken Otto but all his best form is on a faster surface and for that reason he is opposed. Slalom would have a chance on his best form but consistency is not his strong point and for the winner we return to Briscoe Place.
