In depth

Verdict

Nothing makes much appeal but Las Tunas has the best overall profile and indicated a return to form after a quiet period with an improved effort last time. The booking of Brian Hughes is an obvious plus and the gelding is now down to his lowest mark since 2019. However, FOLLOW YOUR FIRE may possibly have his measure providing he's none the worse for a fourth-fence mishap at Sedgefield 10 days ago. He showed a good attitude to score at Wetherby last month under today's pilot and should have more to offer after just a couple of starts over fences. First Revolution and Graystown are each-way options.
