Verdict

At the time of writing, Richard Johnson is down to ride both Champagne Chaser and handicap debutante Vango De Vaige and his choice will be interesting. Johnson has ridden the former runner to all three of his career wins, so his presence on board may prove to be significant. Without that knowledge, however, the suggestion is top weight QUIDS IN, who looks to have claims now dropped in grade, with conditions to suit. Molly Carew and Daisy De Sivola are mares who could make their presence felt, while We'll Be There is not ruled out if the headgear works. Martabot is another who is being tried in a new headgear combi and a market check with regard to his chance looks prudent.
  1. Quids In
  2. Martabot
  3. Champagne Chaser
