Verdict

Soft ground would be preferable, but WESTERN RYDER ran a cracker in the Supreme Novices' over C&D in March, and is the type to thrive in handicaps this season, so gets the verdict over Old Guard, who has a similar chance to Verdana Blue on Kempton running, and has twice run very well in this race before, winning in 2015. Silver Streak is another with an excellent record in similar races, and looks best of the rest in a competitive renewal.
  1. Western Ryder
  2. Old Guard
  3. Silver Streak
