In depth

Verdict

Theo goes well fresh but has never won off a mark this high. Tikkinthebox came against an improver at Warwick after scoring here in April but HATCHER remains well treated. He only won a match at Ludlow last time but goes best on sharp tracks last month and the ground is in his favour. Getaway Trump was going well before falling in a Grade 3 at Aintree in April and should be thereabouts if confidence hasn’t been affected but Coole Well didn’t beat much at Southwell and is upped in grade. Scardura has a lot to prove at present.
