Verdict

A trappy opener for the juveniles with a number of the fancied runners holding disadvantageous high draws. The Armed Man likes to race prominently and whilst he's the form horse, he'll need to break smartly to get across from out wide and could conceivably be cut off by Danzan (drawn 13) on his outer. Wahoo has some decent form, but he's only marginally better drawn in stall ten, and whilst this step up in trip will suit he might encounter traffic problems in cutting through the pack. Our Man In Havana has a good berth and looked a hardy battler when winning at Haydock so he ought to be considered, but a chance is taken at bigger odds on SINALOA. Richard Fahey saddles three runners, but this son of Camacho appears to be the pick, and he might be capable of taking a big step forward now gelded and upped in trip to 6f.
  1. Sinaloa
  2. Our Man In Havana
  3. Wahoo
