Verdict

The betting should prove highly informative here but Ed Walker's METICULOUSLY shaped with promise when a debut fourth at Leicester and this well-related son of Sioux Nation can build on it to thwart Ralph Beckett's New Bay newcomer Forest Bay, who appeals on pedigree. Gold Army has the form to play a prominent role, while Does Mary Know is not out of things if shrugging off a lesser effort at Ascot.
