In depth

Verdict

An intriguing contest where it is hard discount the chances of any of the field. Johnny Oscar (a half-bother to Arctic Owl) ran a fine race on his reappearance and is still open to improvement at this trip. He should be capable of giving them all something to think about and, as long as there is no significant softening of the ground, he can build on his seasonal debut today. Turtle Valley has also begun the campaign in good style and will not be found wanting for stamina; especially if there is a telling early pace. He acts on most types of ground and will be hard to beat if there is any rain beforehand. Prairie Falcon is also dangerous to write off but failed to give a true account of himself at Chester last time and has a little to prove on the balance of this season's form. Bourgeois also has the ability to go close but was burdened with a crushing handicap mark when he made his debut on these shores and has struggled to make an impact so far. Therefore Hambleden may represent decent value as a bet to nothing each way if he can finally repeat his form away from his beloved Sandown. Lady Two K and Royal Cavalier both have form at the trip but have shown their best over twelve furlongs.
