Verdict

There is not much to split these on the pick of their form but the rain may have arrived just in time for Putra Pekan, and he is taken to edge out Inchdura, Funfair and Lady Bear in a very competitive renewal. Putra Pekan found the race unfolding for him just as he likes at Kempton last month and he seized upon the opportunity to land the race for the second year in succession. Coming late off a strong pace suits him, and he should be followed whilst he is in good heart. Inchdura has been a frustrating horse to follow but can reward each way support today. Whereas Funfair, who will be popular in the betting ring, is one to be wary of at this trip, especially if there is no confidence behind him after 221 days away from the action.
