In depth

Verdict

Sellarbridge is the only course winner though his victory came in a bumper. NEW ROSS ran quite well here last month and with improvement in him and his yard in unstoppable form he looks the one to beat. Calagogo has been going well in bumpers and this should be his game but It's difficult to get excited about the remainder with Look Dont Touch possibly the best of them.
