Verdict

Such are the terms of this race the majority are either exposed or in decline. Therefore the three lightly raced potential improvers make plenty of appeal. BETAMECHE gets the vote after an impressive win latest hinting that he can make up for lost time having missed nearly three years after his smart bumper win in 2016. Tapaculo almost made it three-from-three over hurdles latest and he too has leading claims although this will be the fastest ground he has encountered barring plenty of rain. Ritual Of Senses was smart in 2016 and far from disgraced on return at Warwick; surely he can improve plenty on that.
