In depth

Verdict

The market may be the best guide to the chances of Arumun, Turbo Shandy, Be Ashored and Red Law who have all been off the track for a while. Tuscany Star has had 37 career starts and is still seeking a first win, while Ours was last at Chepstow on Monday off this mark. The handicapper also appears to have a grip on Whatshallwedo so KNAPP BRIDGE BOY gets the vote by default. He's almost guaranteed to run his race and it may be significant that his only previous win under Rules came over C&D last summer.
