This is a very weak race indeed in which the veteran RETRIEVE is the one with by far the best form in the book. There are concerns over his ability on the forecast soft ground but if showing he can handle it he should make easy work of these, including several horses who have never won a race, nor look likely to. Lady Lekki looks the second-best option, and has shown she does handle cut, while Whitchurch has been running poorly on the all-weather but has an outside chance on his return to turf.
