Verdict

Who Cares Wins looks the pick of this poor bunch and he can get the better of Gamma-Delta,Tensile and Mrs Pickles. The John Jenkins trained gelding was never going well in his last outing at Doncaster, but had previously finished a decent third behind Makulu at Fontwell. If he can repeat that performance he will be hard to beat. Mrs Pickles landed an amateur riders event at Hereford last month but has struggled twice since. If giving her true running today she should be in the shake up. Tensile easily landed a similar race to this back in January. That was over a longer trip though, so he may just lack the speed to win this contest. Meanwhile showed his first form for two years when chasing home Mel In Blue last time. If that wasn't a fluke he should be involved in the finish. This is not a race to go placing your shirt, but Who Cares Wins looks the best alternative.
