The ground seems to be a question mark for most runners today, especially the favourite Sizing Platinu. At around the even-money mark he looks worth opposing.
Matorico has shown decent levels of form on soft going but his winning record is off putting, he is likely to travel like a winner throughout but when the button is pushed, will he find?
At 9/2, UT MAJEUR AULMES looks worth a punt as the most solid proposition of these contenders. He has shown that he can go well fresh, enjoys these conditions and is potentially well handicapped.
Taking these factors into consideration and niggling doubts about the others, 9/2 is big enough.
Recommended bet
1pt win Ut Majeur Aulmes in 3.20 Newton Abbot at 9/2
