Verdict

Ought to pay to focus on the top two here, with both having their merits. STRONG PURSUIT did things very easily at Wincanton in opening his account at the second time of asking. The champion jockey is back up today and they are worth sticking with. Sandymount was also eye-catching on his recent win and can take advantage should the selection not relish a battle. Maximum Maridius ran well for a long way at Kempton on Boxing Day and can do so again while Ain't No Limits is another with place claims in a race where many have lots to prove. 1. Strong Pursuit 2. Sandymount 3. Maximus Maridius
