In depth

Verdict

Wellington Hall has won on the Flat in Germany, most recently in March on heavy going over 11 furlongs. Waterspray showed placed form in maidens in Australia. Tiger Typhoon should strip fitter for his seasonal return at Wincanton. Oliver Sherwood's Satanas showed little in two bumpers last year. Pepe Galvez ran well to finish second to Orangerie on his debut and will not get many better opportunities to get a win under his belt and, as such, he gets the TEAMtalk vote. Novi Sad won a Plumpton bumper and looks nothing out of the ordinary. Loner won over seven furlongs at Goodwood two years ago (when with Neville Callaghan). Goldbrook, by the Champion Hurdler Alderbrook, showed little in four Flat runs last year. Derby Heights showed promise on his Flat debut at Warwick over 11 furlongs and might be worth keeping an eye on at this level. Autumn Rain, who has won three times on the Flat this year at 9/10 furlongs also has to be given some thought, despite showing little over a longer trip on his hurdling debut.
