In depth

Verdict

Orchestrated ran his best race so far last month at Fontwell but that was on fast ground. THIRD ACT won on soft going over hurdles off an 8lb higher mark less than a year ago. He’s yet to win over fences but today could be his day as he’s been placed twice around here recently and six times in total over the larger obstacles. Moorlands Jack is in the veteran stage now but likes it here, though would have preferred a faster surface. Star Trouper may be best of the rest but that’s not saying much.
