In depth

Verdict

A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Bollin Ruth, Dance The Mambo and Political Pendant and the narrow vote is given to Bollin Ruth. The selection ran well on her debut when second and although disappointing last time out, this race looks easier and with the faster ground also looking to be in her favour she looks the one to be on. Dance The Mambo rates the main danger on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Political Pendant is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip once handicapped. Asrar has shown a modicum of ability but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Bollin Ruth.
