Verdict

OVERNIGHT OATS finished just behind Shot of Love over C&D last month but the Muir & Grassick gelding is slightly better off at the weights this time and is narrowly fancied to turn the tables. Shot of Love made full use of an uncontested lead on that occasion but is clearly in top form and should prove a stern rival for the selection once more, whilst Hi Clare also ran well over C&D last time and merits respect.
