Verdict

A real pin stickers' charter this one, so tentatively we'll go with Retro, ahead of Lyonesse and West Leake. Retro and Lyonesse both come from Richard Hannon's yard, indeed he sends out a quarter of the field. Richard Hughes is aboard Retro and is drawn in the middle, while Steve Drowne pilots Lyonesse who may have a slight advantage with a high draw. West Leake should have come on for his debut outing here last week when he was slowly away, and the Barry and Michael Hills combo can never be ignored. But the 16 scheduled runners have just seven previous outings between them. So any market support should be noted. Our tentative selection is Retro.
