In depth

Verdict

The most consistent of these is York Rite who can gain a deserved victory at the expense of Hanbrin Rose and Terrible Tenant. Richard Guest's has finished in the frame six times this season and rarely gets beaten far. His recent second behind Presence Of Mind was a fair effort as the trip was slightly against him. Back over today's trip he can get an overdue success. Terrible Tenant has disappointed of late but had some decent form at the end of last year.He may struggle to win the race but should be capable of taking one of the places. Hanbrin Rose has been taking on much better company and doesn't look too badly treated at the moment. Best of the others could be Glanamana, but in another weak event York Rite has to be given every chance of taking first prize today.
