Verdict

The Jennie Candlish team continues in fine form so OSCARS LEADER is selected to build on his good reappearance run behind a progressive sort at Sandown. Goobinator is respected on the back of his Ayr win, while this is a little easier than the big-field Cheltenham handicap Hijack ran in last time so it would be no surprise to see him get back on the upgrade.

  1. OSCARS LEADER (IRE)
