In depth

Verdict

A competitive contest gets proceedings under way and the main protagonists appear to be Cash 'N' Credit, Doigts d'Or, Amptina and Hakim and we will take a chance on Cash 'N' Credit. The gelding, from the Robin Dickin yard was a fair fourth behind Sharp Steel last time out despite making a mistake at a crucial stage. If his jumping is error free here he will be hard to beat off what looks a fair mark. Doigts d'Or rates the main danger. He was a good third behind Papua a couple of runs ago but has since disappointed, so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Amptina is also worthy of consideration. She won well last time out when defeating Sharp Steel and she has definite place claims despite rising in the weights. Of the remainder, Hakim has had plenty of chances in similar contests and he still remains a maiden so we are happy to side with Cash 'N' Credit.
