Verdict

We will take a chance with Jonjo O'Neill's WINGED ARROW who gets the verdict ahead of Paradise Expected, Dan Maguire and Dawn At Sea. The selection comes under the ride of Tony McCoy, which should prove to be a significant booking here. The pair finished runner-up at Market Rasen last time. The gelding deserves credit for his performance as he cut out most of the running. He looks capable of snatching victory here today especially with the assistance of the champion. Paradise Expected has been in good form this spring, winning over both hurdles and fences. Despite this, her progress was impeded by a couple of mistakes last time out. She remains in good form, and looks capable of making the minors, but could just be going off the boil now. Dan Maguire and Dawn at Sea should give good account here, the later of the pair is in decent form of late and a finish among the top three is expected. This should make for an exciting and competitive race where Winged Arrow is put forward to score.
