In depth

Verdict

This looks to rest between Unowatimeen and Doube Default, with the last named taken to come out on top. Unowatimeen has a win to his credit, scoring on his debut at Sedgefield and he has since run well in defeat over a longer trip at Wetherby. he likes to race prominently and is sure to make this a real test of stamina and can go close. Double Default represents Nicky Richards, and he has run well to be a close second to the useful Chief Dan George on both his starts this season. He faces nothing of that calibre here and can make his experience tell. Double Default will make no mistake this time.
