Verdict

A modest bunch but the veteran HALLSTATT might be the one to rely on for this contest. He's run three very fine races off this mark so far this year, including a win on the AW at Wolverhampton and a good effort last time at Nottingham when beaten just 1L. Any rain would be a concern for his chances. Mishko defied a long absence to win at Chelmsford on the AW last time out, doing so with a bit in hand. He's been upped 4lb but may well have a bit more to say for himself and is a viable alternative. Waiting For Ritchie ran very well here last month on handicap bow and can build on that while Melanna and Wordiness might appeal as two of the more likely types should the surface deteriorate any.
  1. Hallstatt
  2. Mishko
  3. Waiting For Richie
