Verdict

Possible to build a solid enough case for a number of these runners including the ground versatile recent Newbury scorer Medburn Cutler, who effectively races from a 4lb lower mark with his riders 7lb claim taken into account. Cleonte is also ahead of the handicapper (4lb well-in) after a rock-solid return to action at Salisbury last week, but he could just be slightly vulnerable if conditions are riding very quick. Therefore, we'll plump for the unexposed and improving SOGHAN. He's yet to race on turf, but is a progressive AW performer and his trainer Richard Hughes relies upon Nicola Currie to negate the 3lb penalty for a recent 2m Kempton success.
  1. Soghan
  2. Cleonte
  3. Medburn Cutler
