In depth

Verdict

A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the betting will be all important but the principals look to be Datbandito, Tynedale and Maybe She Will and we will side with Datbandito. The gelding showed enough in a similar race to this on his debut when fifth behind Wicked Weasel. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Tynedale is also worthy of respect he was a good second on his debut behind Maybe She Will and he is better off with that rival here. Maybe She Will won well last time but will find it harder under her penalty. Of the remainder Somewin is from a yard that has already had winners in this sphere so is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Datbandito.
