In depth

Verdict

Grizedale, Katiypour and Swift Oscar are three against the field in this wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Grizedale. The selection won well last time out when beating Border Edge and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a little in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Katiypour rates the main danger on his best form and he will find this easier than the race he finished mid-division in last time out. Swift Oscar is another that could go well but his best form is with more cut in the ground and for that reason he is over looked. Of the remainder Master Robbie remains well weighted on his best form but lacks consistency while Farewell Gift may just need the run after an 62 day absence and for the winner we return to Grizedale.
