Verdict

This race is hardly as competitive as the numbers may have you believe. Cor Wot An Apple and DRAGOON GUARD represent stables that do well here and their trainers, respectively, had a treble and a double on this card last year. Cor Wot An Apple caught a tartar when well supported last time and that winner has boosted the form since. DRAGOON GUARD may have less obvious claims on recent form. An inexperienced amateur has been on board for his last couple of starts which have seen his mark fall a couple of pounds. Today's pilot has an impressive strike rate for the yard and, as their only runner on the card, the hint may be worth taking.
