chased leaders, ridden to challenge 3 out, soon no impression
Hi Bob remains out of sorts and hard to fancy while It's Ocar fell on his only previous attempt at chasing. Zazamix has tumbled down the weights this year and will no doubt take advantage before long but VEYRANNO looks the one to beat. The latter ran well for third at Ffos Las on his chasing bow and first start since March and Tom George's yard has hit a bit of form this month.
