Verdict

This looks wide-open but Speedy Tunes doesn't look particularly well treated on his chasing bow, though has won a point-to-point. Panama Petrus should improve on his run at Sandown while Ballyheigue Bay and Rhapando arrive off the back of victories at Fontwell and Leicester respectively. Azure Fly only found one too good at Bangor last time and likewise Desert Joe at Market Rasen. Phone Home was only beaten a head over course and distance last month but is 5lb higher today. TOTHEMOONANDBACK is normally a strong traveller and can probably be forgiven his latest run at Lingfield on ground that was barely raceable. He'd won at Plumpton and Huntingdon earlier and deserves another chance. Gunna Be A Devil has ability but is jumping fences late in life.
