In depth

Verdict

Plenty in with a chance but CARRAGOLD makes most appeal. He's discovered the winning habit this season and was scoring for the third time in four starts when successful at Musselburgh last week. He has the beating of Philharmonic Hall on earlier form and is taken to defy a penalty. Unknown Rebel is another in good heart, though he had to dig deep to win at Chester last time, while Hail Bold Chief remains on a winning mark despite an 8lb rise for his recent win at Doncaster. Jonny Delta went close at Ayr on his latest start and has scope for improvement.
