    In depth

    Verdict

    This is a tricky looking event and so a narrow vote is given to Okikoki, with Tom Paris and Gremlin also expected to run well. Okikoki and Gremlin met at Chepstow last month, with the selection just coming out on top. The runner up is entitled to reverse the running on two pounds better terms, however the selection is possibly a better horse on this type of ground and may come out on top again. Tom Paris is in good heart at present but does appear to be a better horse on firmer ground. However he should still be in the shake up. Smirfy's Diamond and Frisky Talk are two others worthy of a mention, but back on turf, Okikoki could be the one to be on.
