In depth

Verdict

An interesting race here with a slight TEAMtalk preference going to recent Exeter winner Balinahinch Castle who put his staying qualities to use in a weak amateur race. This is a much tougher task with the in-form Homeleigh Mooncoin looking for a fourth consecutive victory and the more experienced Jackem running for a trainer whose horses are running well at present. Pardon What has some useful bumper form to his name but may be best watched on his seasonal bow while any market moves for newcomer Tourniquet should be noted as his trainer is bang in form.
