Verdict

This looks decidedly trappy and it may be worth taking a chance on ANOTHER EMOTION. He was below his best on return at Exeter last month but took a sizeable step forward from his first to second outing last season, and with a first-time visor potentially putting an extra edge on him, a much better showing could be on the way. Ashfield Paddy, Eceparti and Silver In Disguise are also worth a look.

  1. ANOTHER EMOTION (FR)
  2. ASHFIELD PADDY (IRE)
  3. ECEPARTI (FR)
