Verdict

Wotchalike can get back to winning ways at the expense of Saraban and Mickey Pearce. The selection has gone up ten pound in the weights since winning a handicap at Wincanton in March and then went on to win in selling company at Uttoxeter thereafter. Back in that grade here today he looks the obvious pick with Tony McCoy back in the saddle. Saraban travels from Ireland and drops in grade here so is very much worth noting in the betting market, while Mickey Pearce comes from a yard doing well right so although his form has been very much out of late he is worth considering now dropped to this grade. But for the winner we return to Wotchalike.
