Verdict

A total of 12 runners, so far and away the biggest field of the evening, but the contest is packed out with stables that are multiply represented, with Ruth Carr saddling a trio, and Paul Midgley a duo. Russian Realm is the pick of the Midgley trained pair, and he's massively respected after posting a rock-solid C&D comeback last month (25/1). However ATHOLLBLAIR BOY is ever consistent at Gosforth Park and whilst he requires a career best effort to score from his current mark (76), he nearly did so over 7f here last week. In rude health, this trip versatile performer is seemingly at his very strongest over 6f at this track, and he's strongly fancied to make amends tonight.
  1. Athollblair Boy
  2. Russian Realm
  3. Zebulon
