Verdict

Things seem to have fallen into place for TRINITY STAR in his bid to add to tally at one of his favourite courses (won here twice, including the 2015 renewal of this race and has been placed on three other separate occasions). Notable that he is 8lb below his last winning mark and, with the ground expected to suit, a bold effort is expected. Stanley doesn't have too much to find with the selection and heads the challenge posed by the rest, while Gambit is also well treated just now is worth a look in the betting. Tellovoi is another with claims on the pick of his form but can be unreliable, so Ravenhoe may be the best of the rest.
  1. Trinity Star
  2. Stanley
  3. Gambit
