In depth

Verdict

A rather understated start here with narrow preference for the hat-trick seeking Nawamees ahead of Musango and Easibet Dot Net. Gary Moore's charge is very consistent and has been a credit to connections both on the flat and over hurdles. He has top weight to carry in this claimer but he is well-treated at the weights and is fancied to complete the hat-trick today. Cool Isle, a fellow course and distance winner, down the bottom of the weights and he ran well in defeat last time but at the weights he has plenty to find, along with Diamond Josh who still looks out of his depth despite this lowly level. Easibet Dot Net won well at the course two runs back but disappointed next time up; the drop in trip looks a positive move however. Atlantic Gamble knows how to win at this level and needs respect, along with the consistent Musango although he seemed a bit reluctant to go past the leader last time out. Nawamees then, is fancied to win again.
