In depth

Verdict

Civil Unrest and OLIVER'S GOLD came home one-two in a close finish at Hexham in May, since when the latter has delivered two more respectable placed efforts. He's admittedly finding it hard to get his head in front off his current mark but has delivered at this venue in the past, gets on really well with Emma Todd and should run his usual sound race once more. Deise Vu hasn't found touch so far this season but would be dangerous if doing so and Un Beau Roman is consistent but in the grip of the assessor. Overtoujay disappointed the last day but would be one to include in calculations if forgiven that run as he previously did well to score at Huntingdon.
