In depth

Verdict

A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Ridgeway Jazz, Caltire and Ostinata and the vote is given to Ridgeway Jazz. The selection won well last time out when beating Grapes Of Wrath, that horse has since franked the form and off what remains a fair mark he is taken to win again. Caltire rates the main danger on his latest second behind Martyr, the drop in trip looks sure to suit and he should be watched in the market. Ostinata won well last time out when beating Ogre but he looks vulnerable under his penalty in this more competitive affair. Silver Sprite hails from a yard in top form and could go well at a price, especially as the return to this longer trip is sure to suit. Of the others Carry On Cleo won well last time but this is his hardest task to date and he may now be in the handicappers grip but for the winner we return to Ridgeway Jazz.
