Verdict

With the 2 market leaders dropping out, VANDEEK could be the answer. He has a bit of ground to make up on form, but is open to considerable improvement following a very promising debut success at Nottingham. Sketch was also impressive on his Newbury debut, Watch My Tracker still has potential after getting off the mark at the third attempt last month.
