In depth

Verdict

Most of these are a little out of sorts at present so we will have to side with the in form Hout Bay, with Pomfret Lad and Catch The Wind the likely dangers.Hout Bay has relished the soft conditions recently, landing decent handicaps at Newmarket Beverley and Ayr, any more rain will aid his cause and he looks the obvious choice. Pomfret Lad hasn't won for over a year and is not the most consistent of performers, however he is a typical Dandy Nicholls sprinter who is now down to a winning mark. On the pick of his form, most notably in the Portland handicap, he can be given a very good chance. Catch The Wind is a course and distance winner and she put up a decent performance at Sandown last time when chasing home Rydal. Compared with most of these she is relatively lightly raced and could be on the upgrade. Ok Pal is also running well at present and may do best of the remainder, but in this mood it is hard to look further than Hout Bay
