In depth

Verdict

A wide open contest gets proceedings underway and many can be given a chance on their best form but the principals look to be Terre De Java, Smudge and Pottsy¿s Joy and the tentative vote goes to Terre De Java. The selection was a fair eighth in a class C race at Aintree last time behind Inglis Drever. This looks much easier and with conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Smudge rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Lord Dundaniel in a handicap at Haydock last time. He to will like the ground and he will not be far away. Pottsy¿s Joy is another that could go well but he took a heavy fall last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Gingerbread House is a well bred sort from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Atlantic Hawk is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Terre De Java.
